Comprehension
I have attached a couple of videos to watch that incorporates the 6 W's. Below the videos, I have included a list of sentence frames or discussion starters. I suggest that you choose a book to read with your child, stop along the way to check for understanding by using one or more of the frames below. It is fun and engaging to start a conversation with your child about a book that you have read together... Enjoy!
