PLD provides a 30 minutes a day [Structured Synthetic Phonics Program](https://pld-literacy.org/pld-program-starter-packs-for-your-classroom/) for Foundation to Year 6. Without being able to decode/read words, comprehension is impossible, or compromised. So the Structured Synthetic Phonics Program is a major contributor to your student's comprehension skills.

For comprehension, teachers have the English Curriculum, and within the literacy block comprehension tasks, skills and strategies will be incorporated.
