My ds is 4.8 and is currently reading the Ginn lighthouse yellow band books which he can read easily.
Although he can read words easily I need to make sure that he actually understands the story behind the words. I'm struggling trying to phrase questions right for him to test his understanding. He can do 'what' questions but struggles with 'why' e.g if I ask why is the girl doing that he will say 'because she is'
Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can test his understanding or should I just carry on with the 'why' questions and hope that he understands the why concept.
Sorry if this makes no sense whatsoever.
