Sentence comprehension is the ability to understand the meaning of what is read, not just decode the words. It involves connecting words to meaning, answering questions about text, making predictions, and retelling what was read. Comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading instruction.
Before reading: "What do you think this is about?" During: "What just happened?" After: "What was your favorite part?" Questions build active reading habits.
Help children connect what they read to their own lives: "Has that ever happened to you?" Personal connections deepen comprehension.
After reading, ask your child to retell the story. This checks comprehension and builds narrative skills simultaneously.
Teach children to use illustrations to support understanding. Pictures provide context clues that reinforce meaning.
