Activities: Understanding the Story (Comprehension)
Summarizing
Overview
Objective
The children will answer story-related questions to help them summarize the story.
Levels
Story related questions are asked after certain pages in the story. Students must identify key elements in the story and monitor their thinking so they can summarize the story in a meaningful way.
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.
