Stories and Values

Science of Reading: A Family Primer

Asking Questions: Reading Comprehension
No matter how little my listeners were, I involved them in the story and paused to get their opinions or ask them questions about what we were reading. These techniques are not hard, and they are a way to build comprehension strategies with your beginning reader.
As you read with your children, remember the 5W’s to ask your questions. Ask your children who, what, where, when, and why as you read.
