Learning to Read | The 5 Ws and an H: Building Reading Comprehension | Season 2022

- Lucy had a brand new little red Wagon.

My daughter, Aubrey, is five years old and we love to read together.

We spend a couple of minutes at the end of each book talking about what we just read.

This helps improve Aubrey's knowledge, understanding and memory of what we read.

Who was this book about?

- Lucy.

- Lucy!

We use a strategy called the five W's and H chart.

It helps Aubrey organize her thoughts, who what, where, when, why, and how.

Sometimes I go a little deeper and ask my daughter why she thinks that.

Where does she go to buy those vegetables?

- To the market.

- To the market.

The W and H chart helps me gauge Aubrey's level of understanding when reading.

And how does she get these back home, Aubrey?

- She rides her choo choo train.
