Reading comprehension games for grade 2–6
A child who reads fluently but can't tell you what happened is the most misdiagnosed reader in school — the gap is comprehension strategy, not decoding.
What your child will practice
- Finding the main idea and separating it from details
- Using context clues to unlock new vocabulary
- Making inferences the text implies but doesn't state
