Comprehension Bridge

Some children read fluently long before they understand what the words mean. This tool turns a short text your child has read into simple comprehension questions, so reading becomes understanding, gently and one step at a time.

Paste or type a few sentences your child just read. One short paragraph is plenty.

What the Comprehension Bridge does

In hyperlexia, decoding runs far ahead of comprehension. A child can read a paragraph aloud perfectly and still not be able to say what it was about. That gap is not a lack of effort or intelligence; it is simply where the bridge has not been built yet.

The Comprehension Bridge takes any short text your child has read and turns it into plain who, what, where, and why questions, one sentence at a time so it never overwhelms. It is a way to make that everyday practice take seconds instead of preparation. From kindlexy.com.

Frequently asked questions

+

What does the Comprehension Bridge do?

It takes any short text your child has read and turns it into simple who, what, where, and why questions, building the bridge from reading the words to understanding what they mean. It is made for hyperlexia, where a child decodes far ahead of comprehension.
+

Is it free?

Yes. Free, no signup, no account, and no usage limits. It runs right in your browser and nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
+

My child reads fluently but doesn't understand. Is that normal?

It is the core of hyperlexia: decoding runs ahead of comprehension. A child can read a paragraph perfectly and still not say what it was about. That gap is not a lack of effort or intelligence, and targeted questions are one of the most reliable ways to close it.
+

What age is it for?

It works best for early readers, roughly four to ten, but you can use shorter or longer texts to fit any age.
+

Can I print it?

Yes. You can print the questions as a worksheet for quiet practice, or use them out loud together on screen.
+

Is this a diagnosis tool?

No. It is a practice aid for home use. It does not diagnose or treat hyperlexia or autism. If you have concerns, speak with a qualified specialist.
+

How does it pick the questions?

It splits your text into one sentence at a time and offers the same calm who, what, where, and why prompts for each, so you can talk it through together. Nothing is sent to a server and no account is needed.
