Reading at Home

When reading with your child at home, take turns reading to one another ("I'll read one page, you read the next").

Please also use this guide to look for comprehension (a true understanding of the story):

These higher level thinking questions help extend the understanding of the text:

If your child is having difficulty answering the comprehension AND/OR the higher level thinking questions, try choosing a slightly 'easier' text (i.e. less complex story line), or perhaps check to see that your child is, in fact, able to decode (read the words with ease on their own). 

Your child should be able to INDEPENDENTLY read (fluently) and understand (thoroughly) for the text to TRULY BE be 'at their level'.

Happy reading!
