When starting in Early Childhood Education, children are laying the foundations for learning to read and write. Little by little they get to know the letters, their spelling and their sound.
When they are able to recognize words and read texts, we have to put a lot of emphasis on their reading ability. And it is that, it is not enough that the child learns to read, he has to learn to understand what he reads. To help you we propose a fun activity, it is about Truth game to work on children's reading comprehension.
The best way to teach children and, above all, to stimulate them to learn is through games. It is an interactive, fun and playful way to acquire knowledge.
Moreover, it is in the early stage of literacy when it becomes most necessary, not only to lay a good foundation, but also to help them through fun learning. To achieve this, on our site we show you a original trick for children to improve their reading comprehension, it is the game of truth. What does it consist of?
Your child has to read a text aloud, remind him to pay close attention to the characters, what happens throughout the story and in other less important aspects that, after all, are part of the story . It is preferable to choose short readings at the beginning and move to longer readings as the child gains skills.
Once you have done it, instead of asking the child about specific facts such as: "what was the name of the protagonist?", "Why did the hare go to sleep?" or "where does the story happen?" Present it another way: It is the game of true or false.
You must make several statements to him, all as true and he must say if they are indeed true or false.
1. Read this text with your child:
The daughter of a farmer carried a container full of milk to sell to the town, and began to make future plans:
When I sell this milk, I will buy three hundred eggs. The eggs, discarding those that don't hatch, will give me at least two hundred chickens.
The chickens will be ready to be sold in the market when their prices are highest, so by the end of the year I will have enough money to buy myself a pig.
The pig will get so fat that I can trade him for a cow and a calf.
But at that moment he tripped over a stone, falling along with the milk jug to the ground, spreading its contents.
And so all his plans ended in an instant.
2. Now play the truth game and ask the child these questions. You will have to answer "true" or "false":
- The daughter of a carpenter carried a jug of milk to sell. (false, she was the daughter of a farmer)
- With the milk I wanted to buy eggs to raise chickens (true)
- When I had raised the chickens, I would trade them for a horse (false, I'd trade them for a pig)
- While imagining, he tripped over a stone, but managed to stay on his feet and prevented the milk jug from falling and the milk from spilling on the floor. (false, tripped, fell and ran out of chickens, pig, or cow)
It is a very simple dynamic to perform and, above all, very effective, since the child will want to get all the questions right. You can even run contests, take tests at different levels with more refined or simpler questions depending on how you see the child's evolution and you can even make medals for the best reader as positive reinforcement.
