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.
