COMPREHENSION
An important aspect of English is reading and comprehending what is read.  When your child reads to a teacher or teaching assistant they are asked questions around the story. Doing the same at home will not only prepare them, but is generally a great habit to get into as it will help turn them into enthusiastic, critical, mindful readers who enjoy and appreciate stories on an intellectual level.
