How to improve Reading Comprehension.![]()

My number one tip for improving comprehension is Reading out loud. Reading out loud encourages our kids to slow down and to take their time. Slowing down gives our Rascals time to comprehend what they are reading and they also get to hear the words. Reading out loud is also a wonderful way to spend time together with your child. Take turns reading and make sure you discuss what you've just read. Also make sure what you are reading is appropriate for your child's learning level. As we build self confidence around learning, we want to be careful about stretching our kids beyond where they are. We also want to provide the appropriate level of challenge so our Rascals don't get bored…and don't be hesitant to re-read those tough sections. ![]()

Lastly, as many of you know, Miss Shannon loves to dress up. Encourage your Rascals to dress up with clothes from around the house and act out scenes from the book or the video. Attaching an experience to a story is a great way to build comprehension.
