12. What can skilled readers do? Skilled readers can: Answer a question about the content Anticipate what happens next based on hints in the story Actively interact with the text and relate ideas presented in the text to their own knowledge and experiences. In other words not only are they a fluent reader but they COMPREHEND what they are reading.

13. 3 levels of comprehension Can your child find evidence directly from the text? What did……… do? How many……… were/are there? Who is the main character………? Where is the story set? Can your child think and search for the answer? What happened when……… did………? What happened to………? What do you think might happen next OR what happened before? Where was…… when this was happening? Can your child answer questions without referring to the story? (It is your child’s opinion and thoughts) Have you ever…? Do you think they should behave like this? In your opinion… Why do you think he behaved like that? How do you feel about……?
