Five ways to help children read and understand better.

 

The following five methods It's an experimental method. It is used to develop reading comprehension skills for children who have difficulty comprehending what they are reading. Let's go and see what's there.

 

1. Set goals for overall language understanding: 

Recent research has shown that children with reading comprehension problems may be due to their inability to speak at a young age, which occurred during the pre-school period Because the research results have shown that people with reading problems often have difficulty understanding the subject of the speech. They often cannot understand words. or all the sentences. This made their understanding of grammar worse as well.

 

Therefore, to effectively solve the problem of understanding the meaning of what is read. Educators may need to use a method of teaching vocabulary. Teach thinking skills and understanding the content first, which must begin to develop these skills in spoken language first followed by reading the last step is to develop writing skills.

2. Teach vocabulary: 

Because students with comprehension disabilities Often have poor vocabulary skills and have little understanding of vocabulary, it will be of great help to them if we teach them the real meaning of each word using various methods. For example, in the form of a graphical map (mind mapping), using images, and mnemonics, developing comprehensive language skills will increase their chances of understanding the words they see in the text. 

And because It will be impossible for children to understand every word they see in the text. Students should be taught to guess words from their surrounding context. to make them able to understand the message better

 
3. Teach thinking strategies: 

When children can understand more words, The next obstacle they will face is understanding the sentence. Or complex text and must interpret what has been read to understand the various connotations. Teachers can help teach learning strategies to understand sentences. or complex text by using the SQ3R technique

SQ3R technique

The SQ3R technique is a reading comprehension technique. A competent psychologist developed it. This technique consists of 5 steps as follows:

S = Survey

is to read all the messages in a pass to survey whether what is read has a title What is the story about? and aims to convey to us how

Q = Question

Ask questions. Let us practice asking questions from the story. and answer by yourself to make us understand the story better

R = Read Read

To answer what we want to know or want to know.

 R = Recite Surf

When reading, try to memorize the main text of what you have read. to apply the knowledge gained in daily life When it's time to use this knowledge

R = Review

review knowledge read to prevent forgetting the content or the body of knowledge that we have read.

If children use this technique to improve their reading skills, This will encourage them to read more complex texts.

4. Let the students practice taking turns teaching each other: 

When the children learn things in the way mentioned above. They can practice and can be used continuously, teaching in exchange for each other This will stimulate and create the children to have leadership roles and for the children to review, understand and summarize the learned content in a paragraph to explain to others And during the explanation, the children will also practice reading aloud in another way.

5. Teach sorting skills Or prioritize what they read: 

Train children to prioritize reading. For example, when reading a book, Train them to summarize what they read. Then take the content you have read to prioritize what you read.

 

This will help children to understand what they have read more thoroughly. And if they can prioritize what they've read, that will encourage them to do better on the test. When reading the problem, it can be analyzed. and in order of things to do well leading to better scores in the exam room

I hope the information that we have to deposit today will be useful to everyone, not more or less.

 

And for parents looking for ways to improve reading comprehension for their children, see that the methods we have presented today are useful for you. Do not forget to use these methods in the development of children so that they have better reading potential.
