That purpose can change, depending upon what you are reading. But the overall purpose of reading is to comprehend; whether you are reading the newspaper or a manual for your new DVD player.\nSometimes students get the impression from school that a good reader only needs to read the words quickly and accurately.  While that is true, a good reader also reads for meaning.\nRead to Your Child\nEven if your child is older, he/she can still GREATLY benefit from being read to!\nAs you read to your child, let him/her hear your thoughts as you read.  Just a few ways to do that are: discussing questions you have, predicting what will happen next, or discussing why you think a character did something.  Make your thinking visible by talking out loud as you read.\nAs you come across odd words, teach what the word means to build vocabulary.  Having a broad vocabulary base enhances comprehension.\nModel how you read with expression.\nRead with Your Child\nLet your child read some pages, as you read others.\nStop at various points in the text and encourage your child to share his/her thoughts about\nwhat was just read as you share your thoughts.\nAsk open questions to check for understanding, such as “Why?” or “How?” questions.\nListen to Your Child Read\nBe ready to help when his/her understanding starts to break down.  Help your child identify where the misunderstanding started and why.  Ask questions such as, “Did you get distracted while you were reading?” or “Did a word in that sentence confuse you?”\nMake sure that what your child reads isn’t too hard.  If your child is tied up with saying the right words, he/she won’t be able to focus on the meaning of the text as well.\n“When it comes to reading, comprehension\nBook Selection is Key\nis likely the most important thing.\nIf the purpose of reading is anything other\nthan understanding, why read at all?”\n-Strategies That Work by Harvey and Goudvis\nThe oldies, but goodies are okay!  Rereading familiar and favorite texts can be a good exercise of comprehension.  When a child reads familiar texts, he/she does not have to focus on reading the words as much, so the brain is freed to focus on the meaning.  Just be sure this is not the only type of book in your child’s reading diet.\nYour child should read books in which he/she has the background knowledge to understand.  If a book has too many unfamiliar topics and ideas, it can become a source of confusion and frustration, hindering comprehension.\nFind a “Book Nook”\nDoes your child have a quiet place to read at home that’s free of distractions (the TV, other siblings, the radio, etc.)?  Locate a comfortable and quiet spot for reading to enhance comprehension.\nWe’ve all tried reading (even our favorite novel) in a noisy spot and found ourselves rereading the same\nparagraph over and over again.  Distractions are a major enemy of reading comprehension.\nThe Language of Comprehension\nIf your child says these things while reading, you can be sure she is\nthinking about making meaning while reading:\nI wonder…\t\t\t\t\t\tWow, I think this looks like…\nI used to think this, but now I think…\t\tThis is happening because…\nI think this will happen next…\t\t\tI’m confused about…\nThis reminds me of…\t\t\t\t\tThis part seems important because…","cbCaikGbUmtFCSdw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikGbUmtFCSdw","doc",194048,"English","# Ways to Support at Home\n## Read to Your Child\n## Read with Your Child\n## Listen to Your Child Read\n## Book Selection is Key\n## Find a “Book Nook”\n## The Language of Comprehension","[{\"question\":\"How can parents help a child connect reading to real-life meaning?\",\"answer\":\"Parents should let children see that reading serves real-life purposes, and emphasize comprehension over quick, accurate word reading.\"},{\"question\":\"What should a parent do while reading with an older child?\",\"answer\":\"Parents can make thinking visible by discussing questions, predicting outcomes, and explaining why characters act as they do, while also asking open questions to check understanding.\"},{\"question\":\"How can caregivers handle moments when a child’s understanding breaks down?\",\"answer\":\"Help identify where the misunderstanding started, ask whether distraction or a confusing word played a role, and ensure the text is not too difficult for the child to process meaningfully.\"}]","Ways to Support at Home - Let Your Child See You Read | DOC",1792667952]
