Reading with your Child Every Night Helps with Understanding
Try to read with your child every night for at least 10 minutes. Make it a book that your child is interested in and you both could take turns reading a little at a time. This could also be a great time to brush up on comprehension skills by asking your child the following questions.
- What did we just read? (summarize into one to two sentences)
- What is the story trying to tell us? (have your child try to retell in his/her own words)
- What more do we want to know after reading this? (any questions, predictions, and so on)
