Questions to ask during Reading!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Winter Break! While I hope that you get lots of rest, I also hope that you read as many books as you can.

How you can help your child during the break is by reading? Not only is reading important, but it is also important that you ask questions about their reading.

Questions to ask Before Reading:
