Strategies to improve reading comprehension at home

There are several techniques that can help children develop a better understanding of texts:

Encourage daily reading : Practice makes perfect. Dedicating a few minutes a day to reading improves fluency and comprehension. It is recommended to choose books appropriate for their level and on topics that interest them.
Asking questions about the text : Asking "What is the story about?", "What do you think will happen next?", or "What was the problem and how was it solved?" helps develop analytical and reflective skills.
Using audiobooks and reading aloud : Listening to stories or reading aloud allows children to keep up with the reading, improve pronunciation, and associate words with their meaning.
Educational apps and comprehension games : Digital tools can make practice more interactive and fun. Games and activities adapted to each child's level allow them to reinforce this skill in a playful way.
