Picture Book Program for 8 & 9 Year Olds: Perfect for Home or School

Comprehension Questions for 8 & 9 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 8 and 9, children further develop their focus on answering complex questions requiring prediction, interpretation and evaluation. 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 'The Gruffalo', 'The Giving Tree' and 'Diary of a Womat'.
  • 33 Question Cards for Repeated Reading Sessions:
    • Each card contains sample questions (over four days) and model answers based on each recommended picture book.
    • Questions are focused on encouraging students to predict, to interpret and to evaluate, such as 'Why do you think…?' 'How do you think the girl would feel?' or 'Why do you like that one best?'
  • 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.
