When people ask me questions about hyperlexia, one of the most common themes is comprehension. Specifically, asking for ideas on how to improve a hyperlexic child's level of comprehension and understanding.
Well, one thing you can do is practice using high interest passages. Lester (1997) found that, "high interest strongly aided the comprehension for the hyperlexia participants."
