Series: Marcus Long Language Journey

He can read every word perfectly. So why doesn't the story make sense?

Eight-year-old Marcus Long has made remarkable progress with his expressive language through speech therapy. He can finally put his thoughts into words and participate in class discussions. But now he faces a new, invisible challenge: he can decode every word on the page fluently, yet when he reaches the end, he has no idea what he's just read.

As Marcus enters third grade, the gap between his reading ability and comprehension becomes impossible to ignore. While his classmates dive into rich discussions about characters' emotions and story themes, Marcus sees only words-random words that don't form pictures, ideas, or meaning.
