To Help With Child Reading You Must Answer All Questions

With Child Reading, kids, especially very young kids--possible under 6 or 7 years-old--love you to just read the same story over and over again. I

Then the questions start. You must answer all the questions as best you can. It doesn’t matter how stupid these questions are, you must answer them anyway. This builds vocabulary and understanding and your children look up to you as being the expert. 

When child reading the kid’s vocabulary is limited, so there might be a new word or something in a sentence they do not understand. Do not try and pass the questions over by saying. “You will learn as you get older.” You must try to answer them.

Your kids are looking up to you because they think you know it all. Anyway by answering questions you will undo any confusion and misunderstanding that is quite common for early readers.

When child reading for really young learners it is better to use picture books. As they say “One picture tells a thousand words.”
