Chapter 3 was very intersting because everything we do is through comprehension. We use vocabulary everyday we just don't notice it. Every since we were taught to read teachers have questions us about the story which got us better in compreheding. I read to my daughter and I always tell her a little bit about the book and I ask her what she thinks is going to happen in the story. I think when you have children engaged in astory before reading it they will be ready for thestory andthe comprehension will be there. Teachers build the children's comprehension through different activities, reading groups, fun websities, and this will build thier vocabulary
as well. I play a game with my daughter using spelling words and I use this strategy to study and prepare herfor the test. There is many ways to engage children without boring them and it makes learning fun. Picture books can help young readers in thier comprehension because some of the pictures pretty tell thechildren what is happening or what is going to happen. My daughter is into Junie B. Jones, Magic Tree House these book series are engaging literature which can also
build their imagination.

It is amazing how much we use vocabulary every day and don't even notice it! I love hearing about how you do all of those different activities with your daughter to help build her comprehension of the books that she reads. You are helping her so much with her reading and comprehension skills, and she is just looking at it as fun time reading with mommy :) the fact that you already practice these comprehension techniques with your child means that you are going to be a great teacher if you take it into the classroom. And I completely agree that if we get a child engaged in the story in some way before they read it, then they will have a better comprehension of what they are reading.
