Reading to learn, behind the gate.

The reading-to-learn gate: cold two-passage fluency probeReading to learn across content-area text; summarizingInference anchored in textual evidenceMulti-paragraph structure: grouped ideas, introduction, conclusionGreek and Latin roots enter; morphemic spellingFragments and run-ons eliminated

Meridian Note

Reading to learn opens, and it is gated: the cold two-passage oral-reading probe (≥110 words correct per minute at 97% accuracy) is the entry ticket, because a student still sounding out words pays the same working-memory tax as one finger-counting 7 × 8 inside long division — the checkpoint that prevents the fourth-grade slump. Comprehension takes its terminal KS-7 fix inside content passages nothing labels 'reading comprehension'; the paragraph reaches KS-7, the essay's skeleton appears at KS-4, and spelling reorganizes by morpheme.

Full course content is being prepared.

The outline above is final; lessons and the teacher-validated practice bank arrive shortly.
