The Take Time to Think Comprehension Handout is designed to make it easy for teachers to share research-based strategies for emergent readers in a parent-friendly format with no planning required! This card can be shared with parents during a literacy workshop, parent-teacher conference, or family engagement event. Handouts work great with take home backpack programs too.

Parents learn how to help their children:

• Preview a story to make predictions about events
• Monitor comprehension while reading
• Develop interpretation skills by thinking beyond
