6 Strategies to Improve Reading Comprehension

Developing reading comprehension skills is important for absorbing story books as a young
child. As children get older, this skill will help them understand textbooks, newspapers, and
other more complex texts.

1. Let them read aloud. This forces them to go slower, which gives them more time to process
what they read, which improves reading comprehension. Plus, they don’t only see the words,
they hear them, too.

2. Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books
that aren't too hard. They should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.
Helping them more often than letting them to figure out a word makes it tough for them to
focus on the overall meaning of the story.

3. Reread to build fluency. To gain meaning from text and encourage reading comprehension,
your child needs to read quickly and smoothly it is a skill known as fluency. By the beginning of
3rd grade, for example, your child should be able to read 90 words a minute. Rereading
familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly, so they will become
more fluent in their reading comprehension.

4. Talk to the teacher. If your child is struggling mightily with reading comprehension, they may
need more help with their reading. For example, building his vocabulary or practicing phonics
skills.

5. Supplement class reading. If your child's class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-
to-read books or magazines on the topic. Some prior knowledge will help them make their way
through tougher classroom texts and promote reading comprehension.

6. Talk about what they are reading. This "verbal processing" helps them remember and think
through the themes of the book. Ask questions before, during, and after a session to encourage
reading comprehension. For example:

 Before: "What are you interested in about this book? What doesn't interest
you?"

 During: "What's going on in the book? Is it turning out the way you thought
it would? What do you think will happen next?"

 After: "Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it? What
other books does it remind you of?"
Teachers of the students are also encouraged to integrate reading comprehension instruction
into their classrooms. To increase the likelihood that reading comprehension strategies are
effectively used in schools, teachers in all content areas need extensive practice using targeted
strategies that are viewed as beneficial in regard to their particular area of expertise.
