Reading with comprehension means understanding what’s been read. It takes practice, time, and

patience to develop reading comprehension skills. Families can play an important role in helping

a child learn to read for understanding.

First, make sure your child is reading books appropriate for their reading level. If a book is

too hard, all your child’s energy will be put into decoding and reading word for word, with less

energy available to figure out what the book means. Books that your child can read with 98-100%

accuracy are good choices for comprehension building.

Reading comprehension skills can be developed using a before-during-after approach. Below

are a few suggestions that will help build comprehension skills.

Before

Your goal is to help your child build an understanding of and purpose for what they’re about to

read. Look at the book’s cover. Ask, “What do you think this book might be about? Why? Can

you make some predictions?” Guide your child through the pages, discuss the pictures, and

brainstorm what might happen in the story. Talk about any personal experiences your child may

have that relate to the story.

During

Your goal is to help your child be an active reader. Read together and talk about what’s

happening as they’re reading. Stop and discuss any interesting or tricky vocabulary words. Talk

about any surprising or sad passages, and help them visualize parts of the story. Ask your child,

“Do you understand what’s happening here? What do you think will happen next?” If your child

seems unsure, stop, go back and reread if necessary. Discuss any confusing parts.

After

Your goal is to help your child reflect on what they’ve read. Summarize and share your favorite

part of the book. Have your child rate the book on a scale from 1 to 10 and say why. Have your

child reread their favorite part or act it out.

Take the extra time before and during reading to read with your child this way. You’ll soon find

yourself reading with a child who is motivated to comprehend and learn from everything they

read.

La lectura con comprensión significa que se entiende lo que se lee. El desarrollo de las destrezas para la comprensión de la lectura toma práctica, tiempo y paciencia. Las familias pueden desempeñar una función importante para ayudar a que el niño aprenda a leer con el objeto de comprender.

Primero, cerciórese de que su niño esté leyendo libros apropiados a su nivel de lectura. Si un libro

es demasiado difícil, toda la energía de su niño la dirigirá a descifrar la palabra y a leer palabra por

palabra, y dispondrá de menos energía para entender lo que el libro busca trasmitir. Los libros que su niño puede leer con una precisión de 98-100% son buenas opciones para el desarrollo de la compren-sión.

Las habilidades de la comprensión de la lectura pueden desarrollarse usando el enfoque de antes-

durante-después. A continuación le presentamos algunas sugerencias que ayudarán a desarrollar las habilidades de la comprensión.

Antes

Su meta es ayudar a su niño a desarrollar la comprensión y el propósito de lo que está a punto de

leer. Observe la portada del libro. Pregunte: “¿De qué crees que se trate este libro? ¿Por qué? ¿Puedes predecir algo?”. Dirija a su niño a través de las páginas, y juntos examinen y hablen de las ilustra- ciones, y reflexionen sobre lo que quizás vaya a suceder en la historia. Hablen de cualquier experien- cia personal que su niño haya tenido para que él se relacione con la historia.

Durante

Su meta es ayudar a su niña a convertirse en una lectora activa. Lea junto con ella y, al ir leyendo,

háblele de lo que está sucediendo. Deténgase a discutir cualquier palabra interesante o difícil del

vocabulario. Hablen acerca de cualquier pasaje sorprendente o triste, y ayúdele a visualizar las partes de la historia. Pregúntele a su niña: “¿Entiendes lo que está sucediendo aquí? ¿Qué crees que pasará después?”. Si su niña se muestra insegura, deténgase, regresen y relean el texto si es necesario. Discu- tan sobre cualquier parte confusa.

After

Su meta es ayudar a su niño a que reflexione sobre lo que se le lee. Resuma y comparta con él la parte preferida del libro. Pídale a su niño que evalúe el libro de acuerdo a una escala de 1 a 10 y que le ex-plique por qué. Haga que su niño vuelva a leer su parte preferida o que la actúe.

Dedique tiempo adicional antes y durante la lectura para leer con su niño de esta manera. Usted

pronto encontrará que está leyendo con un niño que se siente motivado a comprender y a aprender

de todo lo que él lee.
