The act or action of grasping something with the intellect.]]> 2016-11-23 14:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/wat14439390/5ds1q3uietg2/wish/139591644 wat14439390 https://padlet.com/wat14439390/5ds1q3uietg2/wish/139591943 Make connections as you read to help the child understand, for example if the story mentions a place you or the child have been to, show the child how to make connections by discussing this place.
Asking questions will make the child look closely and carefully for clues within the story.
Encourage the child to describe the images they see in their minds as you read.
Make inferences, show the child how to infer and then ask them to do the same. For example, 'the girl had red eyes and a runny nose,' you could infer the girl has a cold.
Point out the important parts to the child.
When there is less understanding, ask the child to break down the words so they understand, however then they read with less fluency which can be improved by repeatedly reading the sentence.
An activity that could be done to tie all of the support together could be a story sack with games, puzzles, puppets and discussions all based around the same story]]> 2016-11-23 14:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wat14439390/5ds1q3uietg2/wish/139591943 https://padlet.com/wat14439390/5ds1q3uietg2/wish/139592015 The theorist that links into comprehension would be Brown. This is because Brown used children's ability to use synatx and mesphology to understand language. This is done by the children listening to the sounds of the words before being able to pronouncing the word, this is called phonics.

Another theorist that links into comprehension is Bruner. The iconic representation stage of Bruner's theory is where the information is stored visually in the form of images therefore the use of pictures in story books will help the child understand what is happening in the story. Another way a child may understand the story through images is the images in their mind, the adult reading the story could ask the child what images they see in their mind. This support from an adult also links into Bruner's theory with scaffolding and supporting a child.]]> 2016-11-23 14:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wat14439390/5ds1q3uietg2/wish/139592015
