A parent says that her son can read a story but can’t have a conversation about it. Third grade teacher Chelsey Short shares simple ideas to help your child understand what they read: break down the story into smaller pieces, give a reason or purpose for reading, and encourage your child to look back in the text for answers. She also has some suggestions for making this practice more fun!
This video is part of our special series, Reading SOS, where parents ask the experts their questions about reading and how to support their kids at home.
