Predicting, Visualising and Inferring
Ā
Did you know that students are more successful at reading with more:
background knowledgeĀ
vocabularyĀ
fluency
But did you know that the comprehension skills of Predicting, Visualising and Inferring all come from the same family? We could also add Questioning to this list too!Ā
Ā
Reading requires so many skills but our ultimate goal is for students to comprehend what they read. These comprehension skills are critical to know about as a parent or guardian who listens to their children read at home. Reading is far more than just listening to our kids read. We have to encourage them to understand by thinking about what they read, before, during and after reading.Ā
Ā
So next time you listen to your child read, ask them what they know about these comprehension skills. They might just surprise you!Ā
