Questions to Ask Your Children Each Time You Read A Book To Them

Reading to your children is one of the most important gifts you can give them. Here are some questions to ask your children when you read to them to develop strong reading comprehension skills. As your child learns to read on their own, you could turn these questions into a way to help your children prepare book reports or do a book review.
