Reading with your child is very important. I recommend your child be reading out loud for 20- 30 minutes each night. While reading you can help your child sound out new words and comprehend the text. To increase comprehension you can discuss the text, make predictions, make connections, infer, and ask questions before reading, during reading, and after reading. 

​Connect: when students connect to a story a certain part in the story will remind them of another story, a movie, something that happened to them or a real situation happening in their community, province, or world)


Ask Questions: To better understand a story you should be asking questions before, during and after a story. Some example questions are:

Before Reading


During Reading


After Reading
