In teaching reading comprehension it is good to begin with the basics. Vocabulary building is a good first step in contributing to reading comprehension in young students. When the vocabulary is set in a good foundation, comprehension follows more easily.

Begin with a lesson in word matching. For example, have students complete a worksheet on “matching opposites.”

Example: Match list A with list B

List A
· Far
· Black
· Hard
· Close

List B
· White
· Open
· Near
· Soft

Another good lesson in reading comprehension is to have your students practice fill in the blank sentences.

Example:

She made put pink frosting on the freshly baked ___________.

Building / hamburger / birthday cake / skates

A variation on the above would be to have the student choose ALL the possible answers:

He wore his favorite _________ to the football game.
Jersey / sneakers / house / hat
