With 1 simple change…
I know what you’re thinking…
You probably saw that headline and rolled your eyes to the back of your skull, because it sounds way too good to be true.
And… frankly, it sounds fake. Trust us, we couldn’t believe it either.
But a study done by Dr. Paul Morgan shows the facts.
When children used this skill, their comprehension shot up by 75%!
And it’s so simple that any parent can use it…
It’s called Dialogic Reading.
This is where you read a book to your children and ask them questions about the book, instead of the traditional reading AT your children.
For an example, if you’re reading “one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish”, you can ask your children things like:
“What color is that fish?”
“What did we just read about?”
“What is that over there in the picture?”
“What’s going on in the book right now?”
“Can you read a few words on your own?”
Simple questions that you may think don’t matter.
But by doing this act every daily with your children, their memory, cognitive ability, executive function, reading comprehension, etc… will improve drastically.
It’s so simple. Just do it a few times a week and watch your child flourish.
Oh but one more thing before you go!
We do something similar to this in our Music Stars enrichment program. We sing a song with the children, dance, and then ask them what they think the song meant or how their role in the music played a part.
This helps them understand what’s going on and makes it a LOT more fun for everyone because it’s so interactive and engaging!
If you live in San Antonio, and you’d like your kid to learn all about healthy eating, exercise, and create some toons, you can join 500+ parents here:
