Here is a quick activity that could help your kids with their reading comprehension. They practice a classic strategy that gets them to start asking questions about what they are reading, while they are reading it. They write out questions to the author on sticky notes as they mark sections of the text. The strategy is good because younger kids are able to think about the author and the act of questioning the text in a concrete way.
