Five Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension
Help your child keep what he reads—a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.
Have him read aloud. This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. ___1.___.Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren’t too hard. ___2.___. Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.
___3.___. To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly—a skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly, so he’ll become more fluent.
Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. ____4.____ .
Talk about what he’s reading. ___5.___. Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session.
For example:
•Before: “What interests you in this book? What doesn’t? ”
•During: “What’s going on in the book? Is it turning out the way you thought it would? ”
•After: “Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it? ”
A. He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.
B. Select books that are appealing to your child but not too challenging.
C. Some prior knowledge will help him get better prepared and make his way through tougher classroom texts.
D. This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.
E. Plus, he’s not only seeing the words, he’s hearing them, too.
F. Have him reread to build fluency.
G. Increase the speed of reading.
