Teach your Child to do their own Book Review

This week either read a book to your young child, or have your older child read a book by themselves. At dinner have them give their own review of the book. Help them think about what they read.
Did they like the characters? Why?
Did they like the overall story?
What part in the book did they like best? The least?
What stuck out most to them? (You might be surprised by this answer.)
Did they like the ending? Would they have changed it? If so to what?
Questions like these help kids with reading comprehension. It also helps get their creative minds going.
