How to Use Dr. Marion’s Learning Lab in Your Homeschool
Many children struggle with reading comprehension. A reason for this is that as children grow, their books move from a “storytelling” perspective to a more clinical viewpoint. Dr. Marion’s Learning Lab sought to tackle this problem by creating a new program called Comprendi™ designed specifically to teach students to build skills to aid in comprehension.
While science and history texts can be presented as dry and dispassionate, Comprendi™ not only attempts to reignite excitement through their story texts but also uses exciting graphics to aid in understanding.
Dr. Marion’s Learning Lab Highlights 
The Four Pillars of Comprendi™ include:
- Enhancing Reading Skills
- Mastering ‘The Main Idea’
- Expanding Vocabulary
- Reinforcing Spelling
Building on these things, your student should show improvement in their reading comprehension with Comprendi™.
Dr. Marion’s Learning Lab Pros and Cons
Pros:
- A.I. Generated graphics for visually-stimulated learners
- Teaching detached and impersonal facts through stories that are more easily retained
- Interactive content so the student is engaged
- Free trial
Cons:
- Especially as there is a free trial so you can preview the program without cost, the only con may be the additional screen time your child will need with Comprendi™.
