Easy enough, right? By asking your child these questions as well as teaching him to think about them as he reads, you are helping your child become the best reader he can be. As your child comprehends the text better, he will become a faster (more fluent) reader. He will also be more engaged in his story, allowing him to ENJOY what he's reading, thus increasing his LOVE of reading.
All really, really great reasons to help your child with comprehension!!
