Correct the book, and then read it with the child.

I would help the child by teaching how to hold books correctly so he/she can have better understanding about what happened in the story and point out the pictures in the right order.

I agree to teach the kid how to hold the book properly then I will ask them to retell the story and see how far she can get if that book has been read previously.

I would say this child is a little behind and would try correcting the way they are holding the book and go back over the story

This child is most likely no developing properly, most children even at as young as 3 should be able to speak and at least be able to recognize things when pointing at them in stories, because the child can't comprehend or properly identify what is happening or at least something in the story there is a possibility that they will need further help, I would try to work with the child and as we read pages I would point to the pictures and ask him "is that a ...." so that that child can properly understand what somhing is but still be the ones to confirm yes or no, i would also try to summarize what happened on each page but also in a question so that the child can think specifically about what is happening.

Firstly i will try to find out that the child is doing for fun or it his/her habit.If it is a habit we need to help child to hold book properly and will read story keeping his /her in the place of book character so that the child can relate and try to remember and tell the summary.

I would ask the child what they know about the book. After hearing what they know, I'd show them the correct way to hold the book when reading and then I'd read it to/with them. Afterward, I'd ask them to retell me the story.

Similarly I would correct the book and talk to the child about the book, look at pictures without reading the story and see what he/she says about the pictures when prompted. Then read through thr story with the child and have them retell/summerize the story back to me.

I would say this child is not out of the realm of developmental normality. I would first ask the child if the book was being held upright. I would keep an eye on the child during free reading time and make sure they understood which way to properly hold the book when attempting to read.

I would put the book right side up and read to the child the story a few times. Children have very short attention spans and he/she might not have paid attention through out the entire book.

I would prompt the child with questions that would allow the child to think for themselves in discovering how their learning in this situation could be more helpful in understanding the context. helping the child to see for themselves where they could make beneficial changes for themselves.

I would help the child read the book up right and progressively move from one page to the next to help the child. Having them summarize one page at a time is a method that may help the child pro-long the memory.

This child is not at the same level of education as others kids his age. Other kids his age should be able to retell a story. I would point out pictures in order as the child reads. I would also use props and let the child use the props to retell the story. Then take away the props when you think they are able to retell the story without the props.

correct how the child is holding the book and then sit down with them to read the book until they can tell me the story.
