Reading Comprehension

Does your youngster listen actively when you read aloud? It's a key to understanding what's happening in the story. Try these simple tips to build listening skills:

• Ask your child to retell small parts of the story to you or ask him questions while you read. Examples: "What will happen next?" Why do you think she did that?" Find the answers to the questions together.
• After you've read a story together two or three times, skip a word or two and have your child fill in the missing words.

Either way if you become an avid reader your child will be come one also. Enjoy the weather and take a book outside both can do wonders for your spirit.

Have a great weekend and stay safe, Mrs. Schultz
