Decoding words is only half of reading — understanding what they mean together is the other half. Lumi's comprehension lessons are designed as Socratic conversations: Lumi presents the concept, gives examples, then asks targeted questions that push kids to think, not just recall. This is how deep comprehension actually develops.
