Case: Comprehension is how young children make meaning from stories-not just by hearing words, but by building connections, visualizing, asking questions, predicting, and interpreting text. This journal entry invites you to reflect on one comprehension strategy and consider how it supports meaning-making for young children.
This journal builds on the learning you have done in Units 2-4 and helps you connect theory to practice in a personal, low-stakes way.
