Read & retell
Read a short passage. Close the book and explain the main idea in your own words.
- Who or what is it about?
- What is the main idea?
- What surprised you?
Find something to read. Then talk about it.
Reading can be fiction, biography, history, science, news, poetry, essays or information about something you are curious about. The goal is to build a habit of engaging with text.
Word collector
Choose three unfamiliar or interesting words. Record meanings and write your own sentences.
Ask better questions
Create one factual question, one “why” question and one question connecting the text to real life.
Build a reading routine
Small, regular sessions can become a habit.
Choose a realistic time. Keep reading material accessible. Reduce distractions. Track what you read without turning reading into a punishment.
