Helping Your Child Develop Reading Comprehension Skills

Reading comprehension skills are crucial for a child’s learning and development. These skills enhance memory and foster a child’s curiosity and learning drive. However, many middle school students struggle with reading comprehension. Below are some ways that VSchool suggests parents can help their children develop these skills.

Reading Books Together with Your Child

Parents should spend time reading books with their children, such as fairy tales, illustrated storybooks, and articles with vivid images and colors. This not only makes reading more enjoyable for the child but also enhances their reading comprehension skills.

Discussing Content with Your Child

After finishing a story or article, parents should ask their child about the content they read and analyze it together. Asking the child about what they understood, any new words they encountered, and analyzing them helps develop their analytical and information processing skills.

Practicing Slow Reading and Understanding Content

Parents should encourage their child to read slowly and focus on each sentence and paragraph to fully understand the content. Parents can also ask the child to summarize and analyze the content, which helps improve their reading comprehension.

Encouraging Your Child to Ask Questions

Parents should encourage their child to ask questions about the content they have just read. This encourages curiosity and enhances their ability to explore and learn. Parents can also ask simple questions about the content to stimulate their child’s thinking and logic.

Building a New Vocabulary Set

When the child encounters new vocabulary during reading, parents should explain them and provide familiar examples to help the child understand them better. This expands the child’s vocabulary and understanding of how words are used in context.

Helping Your Child Pronounce Difficult Words

When encountering difficult words or passages, parents should be there to assist, help analyze, and teach the child how to pronounce difficult words so they can remember them more easily.

Expanding Vocabulary through Observation

To help the child memorize more quickly, parents should let the child observe with vivid images or cheerful sounds. This makes learning more enjoyable and helps the child remember the words better.
