To achieve reading
comprehension, your child must bring a positive mindset,
background knowledge, and reading skills to what they read.
If your child is a reluctant or struggling reader, does he have
a positive mindset about it? If not, how can you change it? CAMPBELL AND KARLIK, P.A.
Your child’s prior life experiences contribute to reading
comprehension. Consider yourself assembling furniture. ATTORNEYS AT LAW
When you’ve previously put together furniture, that
experience helps you anticipate assembling the new piece.
Every time your child learns or experiences something
new they make connections and store it to use later when Wills • Trusts • Estate Planning • Probate
encountering new material. Thus, what type of varying Taxation • Real Estate • Corporations
experiences or knowledge are you giving your child?
The text or books your child reads contributes to his or
her understanding. Like the story of Goldilocks and the
Three Bears, you don’t want the text your child reads to be
too easy or too hard, but just right. Find out your elementary
age child’s Lexile level and pick books within that range.
Learn more at lexile.com or talk to your local librarian.
The act of reading is multidimensional and includes
quickly sounding out words, reading speed, and
vocabulary. If your child is reading aloud to you and
mispronounces words, only correct the words that change
the meaning. Using a book at your child’s Lexile level,
simultaneously read aloud with your child to build reading
speed. Stop periodically and take turns describing what
each person is picturing in their mind as visualizing helps
with comprehension. Teach your child a new vocabulary
word each week and practice using it during the week.
If you want to increase your child’s reading
comprehension, allocate sufficient time to work on it, Diane L. KarLiK
read with your child, provide varied life experiences, and
work on skills. If you need a specialist, I have reading
tutors at jimforgan.com/tutor.
