[quote=Anonymous]As a parent, the thing that has helped is modeling for my kids. As we read stories aloud, we ask questions.. sometimes to the kids, but sometimes we answer them ourselves. If we are predicting, we all make a prediction. If we are comparing/contrasting, we all take a turn. Sometimes our kids give really great answers... and sometimes they don't. We tend to model more solid answers after they have been given a chance. They don't even realize we are "teaching" when we just keep things conversational and casual. We also work really hard at building background knowledge. I am not sure how Teachers can translate these two things... the first has been built over time and is part of our daily routine. The second is also just a part of our family culture. Perhaps planning some sort of Workshop for parents/caregivers to help teach ways to support reading development in the home? As far as graphic novels go, DogMan has been huge in our house.[/quote]
