How can I teach a kindergartner the skill of comprehension?

We Answered:

Children learn from play! Don't take things too seriously or your child may get the wrong idea about learning from the start. Always make learning fun, so pick up some fun science experiment kits, books about things that interest him (dinosaurs, fire trucks, bugs, space, etc.), and take him to new and interesting places.

Children learn best through hands-on experiance as opposed to being grilled over and over. Encourage questions, even if they're ridiculous or something that you can't answer --- look for an answer! Or ask him what he thinks is the answer to his question.

Comprehension is connecting the mind with the world around him. He's in kindergarten, and so his mind has trouble dealing with abstract concepts like gravity.

Give him time and if he's still struggling, there are teachers who specialize in helping students with areas of weakness.

Always remember to show lots of love, and patience!!!

How could a teacher teach a comprehension skill that goes along with the book Where the Wild Things Are?

We Answered:

The Internet is a wonderful invention. If you take your subject of your question and add to what you want to know about it, the search engine will do the rest. For example:

My subject is Teaching. I want to know where to get certified as a teacher.

The search engine result is as follows:

Teaching + state certification requirements

What you get is this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Teachin…

This will work for any subject category. Give it a try and good luck

I like that approach better than just saying "Google it" or "Look online".
