How Can Parents Help? Remember we want our children to see that reading is a life long skill and when we can share what we've been reading with others, it helps us become more engaged in what we're reading. Sample questions to ask for understanding: • What is your purpose for reading this text? • What questions do you have while reading? • What did the reading remind you of or what did you learn? • How did it make you feel? Why?
