Frequently Asked Questions

Reading comprehension for preschoolers is built through listening comprehension. When an adult reads aloud and asks questions like "What happened?" or "Why did the bear feel sad?", the child practices the same thinking skills used in independent reading. Research from the National Early Literacy Panel shows that oral comprehension in preschool strongly predicts reading comprehension in later grades. Worksheets for kindergarten comprehension typically use pictures: children look at a scene and answer questions about what is happening, what might happen next, or how a character feels. These activities develop vocabulary, inference skills, and narrative understanding. Reading aloud for 15 to 20 minutes daily and discussing the story afterward is the single most effective comprehension-building activity for this age group.
