"Can you suggest how to help my child with reading comprehension"? As a reading specialist, I often get this question and typically resort to answering through an anecdote or two about my journey.
Since childhood, I've been captivated by the aesthetics of books. The memory of holding those yellow, newsprint SRA books with titles like "I am Sam" and "I am Matt" feels as vivid as my recent lunch date with Sydney. Those books were like the first banana seat bicycle I pedaled around my neighborhood: engaging and empowering.
While browsing the aisles of the OpenBook Store in Northridge, CA, I stumbled upon "The Shopping Spree." Its cover evoked nostalgia for those early readers, and how could I resist such a compelling title? It was like finding a Saudi Unicorn.
Perhaps this time capsule of a book will capture your child's interest, much like it did mine. Enjoy!
