Have you noticed that your child is frequently overwhelmed when reading or struggles to stay focused to complete their assignments?
This is a significant challenge that can affect academic performance and a child’s confidence and self-esteem. Reading comprehension involves understanding, interpreting, and figuring out meaning from written texts.
Here are key strategies to improve a student’s reading comprehension:
Active Reading & Annotation: highlight, take notes, underline key words, and write questions in the margins to actively engage with the text.
Questioning & Inferences: ask questions before, during, and after reading to ensure understanding.
Build Vocabulary: Learn new words using graphic organizers, pictures, or games.
Visualization: create mental pictures of the story.
Learned Strategies: Develop skills like summarizing in their own words, predicting, and identifying the main idea.
