Hyperlexia: Teaching Comprehension to Early Readers
A student with hyperlexia can read fluently and still miss what the story meant. This resource helps you recognize decoding without understanding and build real comprehension with hands-on approaches, like turning punctuation into physical actions or using a mirror to connect words with feelings.
What's Inside
- 12 pages of Problem / Solution / Benefit tables: decoding without understanding, comprehension breakdowns, and a child who reads but does not comprehend
- Concrete activities: picture walks, sound effects, and acting out a story with objects
- Accepting that reading is not just words: reframes comprehension as the real goal
- Flexible strategies: for one-on-one time, small groups, or a daily reading routine
How It Helps You
- Helps you see past fluent decoding to the comprehension gap
- Offers playful, hands-on comprehension activities
- Fits into existing reading routines
Ways to Use It
Use the activities during guided reading, small group intervention, one-on-one sessions, or share them with families for home reading.

Early childhood teachers, reading specialists, and special education teachers supporting young readers with hyperlexia.
