Reading Comprehension
As your child moves from learning the phonograms, to sounding words out, to blending, and finally to reading fluently, you will find that they will struggle a bit at first with understanding what they are reading. Their whole minds are just focused on decoding new words, and decoding feels like the victory! They will begin to learn that they need to understand what they read. To help with this, we use the language of “first, next, and last” to allow a new reader to understand how one part of the story leads to another. This same language is used for the rest of our curriculum, so reinforcing this at home will be incredibly useful as they move forward as a Great Hearts Scholar!
