Activities: Understanding the Story (Comprehension)
Comprehension Monitoring
Overview
Objective
As they are reading a story, children identify on each page the incorrect word, meaning the one that does not make sense.
Levels
There is one nonsense word per page in every story.
Note
Please note that the LTK+ team has discovered that the segmented version of words that should have a short O, instead use a long O. For example, the word dog is segmented as /d/ /oʊ/ /g/ instead of the proper /dɒg/. We will work to correct this error.
