Picture Book Program for 5 Year Olds: Perfect for Home or School

Comprehension Questions for 5 Year Olds is a home or school resource designed to support oral language development in young children. From a young age, children should be verbal, actively engage in social interactions and understand simple, literal questions about their surroundings. By age 5, children begin answering more complex questions that involve predicting, explaining outcomes and considering alternative possibilities. This program, developed by speech pathologists, supports the development of these foundational comprehension skills using engaging picture books to ask age-appropriate questions and assess oral responses. Oral language skills are critical for social interaction and academic success.

Program Includes:

  • Picture Book Recommendations: List of developmentally appropriate Picture Book recommendations, such as 'A Lion in the Night', 'The Gruffalo' and 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'.
  • 42 Question Cards for Repeated Reading Sessions:
    • Each card contains sample questions (over four days) and model answers based on each recommended picture book.
    • Questions focus on Blank Level 3 and 4 skills, such as 'Why did that happen?', 'What would you use?' or 'Why can't we?'
  • Instruction Booklet: Guidance for presenting in group, class or home settings.
  • Strategies for Success: Techniques for responding to inadequate answers.
  • Progress Check: Two assessments to monitor comprehension skill development.

A home or school picture book program for 5-year-old students.

The aim of Comprehension Questions for 5-Year-Olds is to train parents and teachers to ask developmentally appropriate questions and to evaluate the quality of a child’s oral answer. If an insufficient answer is provided by a child, there are examples of how to assist the child to answer the question specifically with sufficient information. From 5 years of age, students should love engaging with their peers and adults. Therefore, the ability to understand questions is critical for participation in social interactions and success across all curriculum areas. Comprehension Questions for 5 Year Olds has been developed as an essential resource for Oral Language Development. At this age, questions require students to predict, include, consider possible outcomes, and explain how and why. For example: How else could this have been used? Why can’t we? Why did that happen? What would you use…?

Designed by Speech Pathologists for teachers and parents for use in schools, daycare and in the home this program provides 5 year olds with:

  • Lists of developmentally appropriate picture books and comprehension questions.
    Samples of 5 year old age-appropriate answers and samples of inadequate 5 year old answers.
  • Techniques and strategies to implement when a child provides an inadequate answer.
  • An instruction booklet that outlines how the resource can be presented to a whole class, small groups or individual home setting.
  • Each card reminds the importance of repeated reading of picture books and outlines a collection of questions to be asked on day 1, then further questions to be asked on days 2, 3 and 4.
  • 42 double sided picture book cards that model appropriate questions and responses for the books listed in Recommended Books For 5 Year Olds such as ‘A Lion In The Night’, ‘Bear Hunt’, ‘The Gruffalo’, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’, ‘A Sausages Went For A Walk’.
  • The questions focus primarily upon Blank (level 3 and 4 questions).
