She's a young year four and reads avidly....she has always found comprehension questions befuddlling though...her teacher this year seems to understand her and says "It's a technique thing....she'll get there."
She went on to say "She obviously understands the books she reads because she reads SO much...and obviously loves it..."
So my question to Mumsnet parents and teachers is why can't she answer comprehension questions easily?
I have every confidence in her teacher as she really "gets" DD somehow....DD is very articulate and grasps quite sophisticated reasoning and philosophy/humour...but how can I help her to respond "right" in comprehension tests etc.
