Comprehension & First Grade Reading
When it comes to comprehension and first grade reading, a
multi-pronged teaching approach is preferable to use.
A basic first
grade reading program should include interactive reading activities,
reading games, a variety of worksheets, plenty of positive
reinforcement, and of course, assessments.
First grade reading and comprehension lessons plans will go beyond
just the core of comprehension and reading for the first grader.
Certainly as your first grade level child begins developing reading and
comprehension skills, there will be other related areas of development
such as vocabulary words and writing skill development.
In fact, as part of your reading lesson plans, you can
easily tie into a broader development of language arts
skills.
Perhaps you hadn't considered the importance of following up on these
paths as you consider your plans in developing your child's
comprehension at the first grade reading level but this is a very
important concept.
Try not to stove pipe your instruction and lesson
plans to just strictly focus on the task of reading. It's so much more
effective to tie in vocabulary building, and writing skills to a story
or book your child is already underway reading. It really does knit
together quite nicely.
The first grade reading and comprehension level is truly a high learning
and discovery zone for beginning readers. Make sure that you incorporate
into your lesson plan plenty of fun reading activities, and worksheets.
At this age, it is critical that your child get off on the right foot by
enjoying the art of reading and not only develop good reading skills,
but other language and English language skills as well.
Reading, writing, and vocabulary tie together quite nicely as your
young reader begins to get started. Keeping them related to one another
is a great way to round out your child's reading and comprehension
development.
