Hi
My yr2 DS's reading level is very good in actually reading the words correctly and his understanding of the story was fine (so I thought) but I spoke to his teacher on friday as I felt his school reading books were too easy and she says its his comprehension that is holding him back (which IMO is fair enough now I know iyswim)
He seems to answer questions correctly about the actual book and what is in the story iyswim but its the thinking outside the story that seems to throw him.
For example we have been reading a book about a naughty girl who comes to tea and creates havoc, he can answer what she has done and why etc and what she might do next but not why she is there (ie invited for tea iyswim)
Any ideas on how to help would be appreciated!! [hgrin]
