TIPS FOR TUTORS
Great! Your learner has made significant progress in sounding out words and short phrases. Now what? How do you help them understand what they’ve just read?
Here are a few ways to cultivate reading comprehension!
1️⃣ Activate Prior Knowledge
Help your learner connect new information to their existing knowledge. When reading, encourage them to draw on their experiences, opinions, and emotions. This connection enhances comprehension and encourages critical thinking.
2️⃣ Encourage Visualization
Guide your learner to create mental images while reading. Encourage them to imagine the settings, characters, and events as if watching a movie in their mind. This visualization technique enhances comprehension and makes reading a more immersive experience.
3️⃣ Ask Thought-Provoking Questions
Engage your learner in meaningful discussions about the reading material. Pose open-ended questions that encourage them to think deeper, analyze the text, and express their thoughts. This interactive approach stimulates their comprehension and prompts active engagement.
Implementing these strategies will help your learner develop strong reading comprehension skills, enabling them to understand and appreciate the stories they encounter fully.
Together, you’ll unlock the power of comprehension and open doors to new worlds through the magic of reading.
Keep up the incredible impact you’re making! 🚀📖
