Reading Comprehension Help for Children at Point Speech Pathology
we build the language skills behind stronger reading comprehension

Your child can read the words, but doesn´t seem to understand what they read.

 

Reading comprehension is not only a reading skill. It is also a language skill. Children also need vocabulary, verbal reasoning, inferencing, narrative skills, background knowledge and the ability to organize and express what they´ve understood. 

​

If your child is:

  • reading the words but not understanding the text

  • having difficulty answering questions

  • has a weak vocabulary (saying "the thing" instead of using real terms)

  • difficulty making inferences

  • difficulty identifying main ideas

  • trouble summarizing

  • trouble understanding character motivation

  • difficulty explaining evidence from a text
