Reading Comprehension

Understanding What You Read

Comprehension means understanding the story or information in a book or passage. It's not just about reading the words—it's about knowing what they mean!

How to Improve Comprehension

  • Ask questions about the story as you read
  • Predict what might happen next
  • Summarize the main idea in your own words

Helpful Strategies

  • Look at the pictures for clues
  • Think about the characters and what they feel
  • Remember important details

Why It Matters

Good comprehension helps you enjoy stories, learn new things, and share what you’ve read with others.

Examples

  • After reading a story about a puppy, telling what happened first, next, and last.

  • Explaining why a character felt sad in a story.

In a Nutshell

Comprehension means understanding and remembering what you read.
