Reading for Comprehension and Ways to Help your Child with This Skill
Sitting at home with your child during this unprecedented time? Are you telling yourself that this is the opportunity you have been waiting for to really help your child succeed with reading for comprehension?
Now is the time to start!
An interactive book study is the way to go. Interactive book studies engage your child on a different level. It’s more than just writing answers to questions. It takes reading comprehension to another level!
How does it work?
The book study guide begins by showing how to get started. Then, it assigns your child to read or listen to the first few chapters and then answer some questions. From there, they begin getting creative and cutting out the questions and answers to glue into a notebook. The questions are on top and the answer is hidden below the flap.
You just need a notebook or something to organize the cutouts of the questions and answers. Right now, with the libraries closed, you can access all kinds of books through your public library e-downloads or stories.audible.com for free downloads.
When a student is reading and not comprehending, sometimes they need to be slowed down and asked questions to build the layers of learning that need happen. The interactive book study is a perfect way to help your child!
