Reading Comprehension Struggles?

Does your child struggle with reading comprehension, memory, multi-step instructions or attentiveness? Whether they are learning to read or not reading quite yet, this Brain Blossom game can help them gain skills in reading comprehension and memory while also expressing creativity, having fun and connecting!

Here’s the game plan: 

1. Share a short, fun and silly story without revealing the game.

2. Ater you tell the story, ask your child to draw three things that happened. It can be any three things, in any order! Get creative with this - drawing, painting, or modeling clay are all great options!

3. If they can recall 3 things, encourage them to arrange the pictures in the order that they happened in the story.

Pro tip: If these steps are challenging for your child, simplify your story! It can even be 1-2 sentences to start! Consider having them recall one or two items from the story instead. 

Behaviors are a window into the brain, and understanding more about how your child processes verbal information dn turns it into visual images is an important part of understanding the tools your child is using to engage and process their world.
