Little listeners, big thinkers!
In preschool, comprehension starts with listening. Before kids read on their own, they hear stories read aloud and learn to answer simple questions: Who is in the story? Where are they? What happened? They retell stories in order, point to details in pictures and make guesses about what will happen next. Short, simple stories with a picture on every page are perfect for building these skills. The click comes when a little one says, "Read it again!" and then tells you the story themselves.
Preschool comprehension is all about talking. These moves get little ones thinking.
Read a short story aloud, then ask two or three simple questions: "Who was sleepy? Where did he sleep?" Keep it fun and quick. Answering right after reading builds memory and attention.
Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
