You don’t have to read every book before your child does. Rise to Reading gives you practical questions and resources to help you talk about their reading and support them along the way.
We’re here to support you, one book and one conversation at a time.
Make the Most of Every Book
A good book is just the beginning. Use the resources on each book’s page to start conversations, check understanding, and help your child grow into a more confident reader.
1
Take it one chapter at a time
Rise to Reading groups comprehension questions by chapter, so you can work through a book in manageable chunks. Read a chapter at a pace that suits your child, then use the matching questions before moving on.
2
Start a conversation
Choose two or three questions after reading, and give your child time to answer in their own words. Follow up with “What makes you think that?” and invite them to share a favorite moment or something that surprised them.
3
Build understanding
If your child gets stuck, revisit the chapter together and look for clues in the text. Use the answer guide to help, then invite them to explain the idea again in their own words.
Build Reading Skills Together
Help your child look beyond what happened in a story to understand why it happened. Explore skills like making inferences, understanding characters, and finding the main idea. Each guide explains the skill in plain language, offers ways to practice at home, and points you to books with questions that help.
