BUILDING COMPREHENSION SKILLS AT HOME
In Oklahoma's kindergarten education standards, comprehension is defined as the ability to understand and interpret text. This involves skills such as:
- Identifying main ideas and details in stories.
- Making predictions about what will happen next.
- Retelling stories in sequence.
- Connecting personal experiences to the text.
- Asking and answering questions about the text.
These skills are aimed at helping young learners develop a strong foundation in reading and understanding written material.
