Have you ever heard a toy robot read words out loud?

A robot can make word sounds, but it does not know what a fluffy dog or a sweet strawberry actually is!

What makes human reading so much better than robot reading?

Reading is not just making sounds with your mouth.

**Comprehension** means understanding the meaning of words in your brain, not just saying them out loud.

What happens inside your head when you really understand what you read or hear?

When you understand a story, your brain builds a **mind movie**.

If you hear the sentence "The big green frog jumped into the cool pond," you can see the splash and hear the *ribbit* in your head!

What should you do if you read a sentence but no picture appears in your mind?

If your mind feels blank, press pause! You can ask yourself two quick questions: **Who** is in the story, and **what** are they doing?

What Does Comprehension Mean? Understanding What We Read and Hear. Understand that comprehension means thinking about what a text means, not just saying the words.

Explicit Comprehension Instruction in Foundation: Building Meaning and Think-Alouds

Understanding Stories: Language and Literacy for Early Learners

Early Reading Comprehension: Thinking About What We Read and Hear

For Foundation learners (AC9EFLY05), explicit teacher 'Think-Alouds' during shared big-book read-alouds are the most effective evidence-based strategy. The teacher models internal metacognitive dialogue aloud (e.g., 'When I read that, I see a picture in my head...', 'Wait, that didn't make sense to me, let me check the picture'). Pair each comprehension strategy with a physical kinesthetic gesture (e.g., pointing to the temple for 'Think', framing hands like a camera for 'Visualise', locking hands together for 'Connect') to make abstract cognitive processes concrete.
