What you can accomplish in 30 minutes a week

In just one short weekly reading session, this book shows you how to:

  • Help your child follow the story from beginning, middle, to end
  • Find the main problem in the story
  • Ask better questions without turning reading into a worksheet
  • Teach your child to explain answers with clear evidence
  • Build a simple weekly reading routine you can actually keep

You don't need an advanced degree or expertise to improve your child's reading comprehension.

All you need is 30 minutes a week using the Reading Rescue Plan with your child.

You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

Your purchase includes 5 months of access to the Strategic Study online community, where you can ask questions, get support, and stay consistent as you use the Reading Rescue Plan at home.

This is especially helpful if you are wondering:

  • Am I asking the right questions?
  • Is my child understanding the story deeply enough?
  • How do I help without turning reading into a battle?
  • What should I do if my child gives short or incomplete answers?


The book gives you the system.
The community helps you use it with confidence.

About the Author

David Marrufo holds a B.A. (Cum Laude) in English from University of California, Berkeley and an M.A. in Philosophy from San Francisco State University.

With over 15 years of experience teaching students across private schools, SAT programs, and one-on-one tutoring, he identified a common problem:

Students can read… but struggle to explain what they read.

To solve this, he developed the STORY Framework—a structured system that helps students organize their thinking, identify key details, and build lasting comprehension.

His digital book, The 30-Minute Reading Rescue Plan, brings this system into the home, giving you a clear, structured way to guide your child’s reading development step by step.

Helping your child understand what she reads should not depend on guesswork. It should follow a clear, repeatable plan.
