How to Improve Reading Comprehension Skill

The value of teaching a child to read is obvious, but there is no point in reading anything without the ability to comprehend its meaning. A toddler will learn to read words by seeing how they are formed from individual letters, but when too much effort is going into the process of decoding the words, this can have an impact on a child’s ability to grasp any meaning from those words.

Some educators are of the opinion that analysis and comprehension of a text should be taught before a toddler learns to read. Others think that children should be allowed to develop skills in decoding and word recognition before learning how to comprehend what they are reading.

The best way to improve reading comprehension is for a child to learn it at the same time as developing the ability to process individual letters and see how they combine to form a word and its associated sound.

When you read a piece of text, like this one you are reading now, you are extracting information by processing the letters that form the words and at the same time you are gathering a meaning from all the words that are set up in lines of text.

To help a child to develop good skills in word recognition and comprehension, you will need to use these three key strategies:

(a) Teaching word recognition,

(b) Developing vocabulary

(c) Active reading

Decoding and Word Recognition

Teaching word recognition allows a child to recognize words correctly. It’s only when we become fluent at decoding words that reading becomes less of an effort.

Fluent reading requires fast decoding skills. Once a toddler learns to read by developing the ability to decode words quickly, less goes into the process of word recognition and there is more cognitive capacity available for reading comprehension.

Developing Vocabulary

Reading comprehension requires a good knowledge of vocabulary, which is why it is critical for a toddler to learn to read at the same time as acquiring new vocabulary. Testing has shown that young children who are taught a hundred new words over a period of five months outperform those who have not developed their vocabulary.

Reading helps to increase vocabulary and a toddler can learn to read, the richer that child’s vocabulary will grow. A 1988 study revealed that books written for children contain twice as many uncommon words when compared to conversation between adults educated to the level of college graduates.

Developing a daily habit of reading helps a child to build vocabulary. Children extract meaning from unfamiliar vocabulary by associated the words they read with their existing knowledge.

Improving Comprehension

Active strategies help to improve reading comprehension. When teaching a toddler to learn to read you should also ask questions about what is happening in the story. Start a discussion about the characters and ask about how the difficulties they face in the plot could be resolved.

A toddler can learn to read and develop skills in reading comprehension at the same time, through a combination of three teaching strategies. You need to understand the process of reading and what makes a good reader. You should know the importance of allowing a child to grasp the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary and becoming an active reader.

Program Review: Children Learning Reading

Do you think development and education of your toddlers are important to you? Have you ever been looking for a program that might help you teach your toddler to read? 

Recently I came across a step-by-step program that helps parent to simply teach their toddlers to read. The best thing of this program is that as long as your toddler is ready to talk,it will assist you teach your toddler to read fluently.  I had some doubts at first once I saw that the program claimed that even two and three year old children can be educated to read  effectively; but, my doubts were quickly place to rest once I saw their video proofs of small kids reading.

The authors of the program, Jim and Elena, had developed their Children Learning Reading program, and then used it to teach their own children to read before turning 3 years old. They showed various clips of their young 2 year 11 months old daughter reading, and I was quite surprised to see how capable their daughter was at reading by the time she was just a little over 3 years old. I did not expect to see small 3 year old children capable of reading children's books! Here's a video for you to see:
