Want to help your child comprehend better?

Visualize: After reading, ask your child to draw a picture of something they visualized as they read.

Predict: Ask -  What do you think might happen next? Why? What led you to think that?

Connect: Ask - What does your book/story remind you of in your life? Another book? A movie? Something that is happening or has happened to you or in the world? Do the characters remind you of anyone? What do you think about the characters?

Story Elements: Ask - Who are the characters in your story? Where does the story take place? What was the problem in the story? How does the problem get solved? What is the theme of your story?

Non-fiction Book Questions: What is a new fact you learned? How do the pictures and captions help you understand the information better? What was the article mostly about?
