-
Story Comprehension
Reading is about more than just sounding out a word at a time. It's about being able to read full sentences and understand what they say together. And it's about being able to recall something read two or three sentences (or paragraphs or pages) before.
-
Sequencing
Asking a child to put story moments in order is a good way to test their comprehension of a story.
-
Spelling
Spelling is easier with letter choices. This activity helps children sound out words one letter (or one letter combination) at a time.
