Reading comprehension

What is reading comprehension?

The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy defines the word reading as “The interpretation of the meaning of a text”. Reading a text does not imply that we are understanding its content, one reason may be that we do not know the meaning of some words or that we do not interpret what the author wants to express, but another reason may be that we are not concentrating, we can read and think about something else at the same time, we must correct this problem from school age by promoting reading comprehension strategies. An ideal way to encourage reading as a daily habit in the little ones is through short kids stories like the ones we offer for free at Kahniyan.

Reading comprehension is the ability to understand what is read, taking into account the global understanding of the text and also the understanding of words.

When we read we activate the ability to understand, that is, learn the relevant ideas of a text and relate them to the concepts that already have meaning for the reader.

The  written text  today has reached enormous importance (press, advertisements, instant messages, work environment, etc.), in some specific cases it has  displaced oral language , as is the case with the new smartphones and all their messaging utilities. .

Reading comprehension is an essential part of  correct cultural literacy  that allows the kids to incorporate into society and adult life. This must be encompassed in various contexts and with varied types of texts that can start with the most significant narrative for kids such as stories and poetry and continue with more complex texts close to science.

Our short proverbs for kids can also be of great help to you , an extensive compilation of popular sayings with which the little ones can improve their reading comprehension, work on their memory and learn to recite the ones they like the most.

The comprehensive readings that we offer in Primary World  are based on texts with a  playful and recreational purpose  from their simplest expressions, favoring attractive and pleasant experiences around reading, promoting the reading habit, while at the same time being  pedagogical instruments  aimed at perfecting the analysis. of texts in various communicative situations.

Comprehension of texts is of vital importance in learning, starting from the comprehension of simple sentences to that of more complex texts. In this sense,  it is necessary to choose the most suitable readings for kids, those that adapt to the level indicated for their age. In addition, they must be attractive, since this ensures that the kids pays attention to what he reads and is able to explain it later. So it is advisable to use short and pleasant paragraphs, which keep the kids interested.
