Does your youngster listen actively when you read aloud? It’s a key to understanding what is happening in the story. Try these simple tips to building listening skills:
1) Ask your child to retell small parts of the story to you. Or ask them questions while you read. Examples: “What will happen next?” “Why do you think she did that?” Find the answers to the questions together.
2) After you have read a story together two or three times, skip a word or two. Ask your child to fill in the missing word or words. This one works really well with rhyming stories.
