Reading Comprehension

Understanding What You Read

Reading is more than just saying words out loud—it's about understanding the story or information. Reading comprehension means figuring out what the text is about, who the characters are, and what is happening.

How to Understand Stories

To better understand a story, ask yourself:

  • Who are the characters?
  • Where does the story take place?
  • What is the main problem or adventure?
  • How does it end?

Fun Ways to Practice

Try retelling the story in your own words, or draw a picture of your favorite part!

Why Is It Important?

Good reading comprehension helps you enjoy books, learn new facts, and do your best in every subject.

Examples

  • After reading a story about a lost puppy, explain why the puppy was lost and how it found its way home.

  • Read a passage and answer questions about who the main character is and where the story happens.
