Build early comprehension through read-alouds: characters, setting, retelling, predicting and asking great questions.

Understanding stories starts long before a child reads alone. This course turns daily read-aloud time into comprehension practice. Children learn to name characters and settings, retell the beginning, middle and end, make predictions, and connect stories to their own lives.
What you will learn
- How to talk about characters and setting
- How to retell a story in order
- How to make and check predictions
- How to ask and answer who, what, where and why questions
- How to connect stories to real life
Who this course is for
- Kindergarten children who love being read to
- Parents who want more from bedtime stories
- Early readers who decode words but miss the meaning
Every lesson includes a short explanation with examples, a practice activity to do together, a tip for grown-ups and a quiz, and your reader earns a certificate when they finish.
