Comprehension skills are paramount in the reading process. Asking questions that guide your son or daughter's understanding of literature is a great way to step back and process what has just been read. Guided questions and phrases will help your child learn to organize the information they obtain from a story.
Here are some great questions to try:
-What is the title of this story and who is the author?
-Where does this story take place? (setting)
-Who are the main characters in this story?
-What was your favorite part of the story?
-What happened in the story? (beginning, middle, and end)
If you are reading a story together take pause and define vocabulary. Allow your child to predict what happens next, or ask to see if your son or daughter would have handled a situation differently than the character did. Did your son or daughter like the way the story ended? Have your child pretend that they are the author. How would they have changed the ending?
