Okay, so here’s what I mean when I say we pay our kids $5 to read.
He reads his book, and then we talk about it.
Questions I always ask:
Who was it about?
What happened?
Where did it happen?
Why did it happen?
What was your favorite part?
What was a good lesson learned in the book?
And if he needs to, he can flip back through the pages. He can look at the pictures, find what happened, and even act it back out. Because I’m not trying to see if he can memorize the story. I want to see if he understands it.
If your child has to look back through the book to answer a question, that does NOT automatically mean they didn’t read it or understand it.
Actually, there’s a reason I WANT my kids to look back.
I’ll explain why in the next video!
