Comprehension Questions!


Hey Parents!

In school, we have been working on comprehension questions.  A lot of the kids are reading accurately and are not making a ton of mistakes with word correction.  On the other hand, the kids are struggling with deeper meaning comprehension.  I wanted to give you some tools that you can use at home when asking questions to your kids about the reading!  

What is this story MOSTLY about?
Is this a fiction or non-fiction piece?
Who is telling you this story? 
Who are the characters?
Why are you reading this piece? (not just because Mrs. H said so!!) :)
Can you retell this story using key details?
What is the setting of the story?
What type of text am I reading?
Why do you think the author wrote this story? (Theme)
Why did that character act that way?  
Is this book easy, just right or too hard?

These are just a few, but I'm hoping they will start healthy conversations about the text sent home or a text they are reading at home! 

Thanks for your support!
