10 Minute Routine to Boost Your Child’s Reading Comprehension

As an educator, I am in love with Readworks. I utilize Article -A- Day, a set of nonfictional articles that cover different topics, with my students.

This 10 minute routine, if done with fidelity a few days a week, can boost your child’s reading comprehension. It builds prior knowledge, increases vocabulary and builds fluency. Within this 10 minute routine, you choose an article of interest on your child’s grade level. Then have your child read the article and provide 2-3 details they would like to remember. Last, but not least, have your child share the details with you. You can create an account for free and start boosting your child’s reading comprehension.
