The Key Three Routine™ provides flexible comprehension strategies that can be used in content-area classrooms. This resource can also be used as a supplemental reading comprehension system for students with reading difficulties.

The Key Three Routine emphasizes three active reading and writing skills: identifying and stating main ideas, taking notes, and summarizing. These skills are combined into a series of five research-based activities that can be used by content-area teachers. The program features numerous examples and practice exercises, including opportunities to develop customized activities from reading materials used in the teacher’s own classroom.
