📖 What is Reading Comprehension?

Reading comprehension means reading a short story or passage and understanding what it says. We read carefully, think about the words, and then answer questions. The answers are usually found in the passage itself. Let us read some fun passages and answer questions!

💡 Tips for Reading Comprehension

Tip 1: Read the title first — it tells you what the passage is about.

Tip 2: Read the questions before reading the passage a second time.

Tip 3: Look for naming words (nouns) like names, places, and things.

Tip 4: If you don't understand a word, read the sentence around it for clues.

Tip 5: Practice reading every day — even short stories and comics help!
