Asking questions before, during, and after reading can improve comprehension. Children are natural at asking questions. They are trying to figure out how the world works every day. This desire to find out what is happening and how it happened helps to make reading fun. If reading time is fun, then your child will want to spend more time reading. The more they read, the better they become at reading. You can help your child fall in love with reading by talking about the book together, sharing your questions, and encouraging their curiosity. This is easiest to do when you can find a topic that the child really wants to read about.
Here are some tips on asking questions to improve reading comprehension: 1. When you are looking at the cover, what questions does your child have? Write a few questions on sticky notes to help them get ready to read. 2. Play a game. Try to find books related to the questions your child has asked. 3. Encourage your child to ask questions that they are wondering as you read together. Share your questions as an example. If you ask your child a question from the reading, ask them to find the answer on the page.
