JennW in SoCal Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 If she's just beginning to read, don't worry about comprehension. Just keep plugging away on decoding the words and the comprehension light will click on. Do you have simple phonics readers? That will help, or if you are a creative soul you can write nonsense sentences out of the words she knows. Let her write, too, or make words out of magnets. Most of all though, be patient.

parias1126 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 How old is she? My oldest (17 now) always struggled with comprehension. I went to Barnes & Noble and bought the reading comprehension books every year. They had short stories and she had to answer the questions. It was done independently at 8 years of age. Went back to edit this because I can't remember who makes these books. They can be found in the workbook section. I can look it up if need be. Just PM me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeekingSimplicity Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 She's 9 and reading has been a big struggle. She's most of the way through PP and seems to have fairly good reading vocabulary now, all things considered. She just has no idea what she's reading. We have a B&N here, I'll stop by there next time I'm in town and see what they have. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
