"Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting."
– Edmund Burke
This means reading without any (or little) understanding of what you’ve read is a wasted effort. It has no purpose. Imagine yourself reading a 300 page book only to finish it and not have understood anything. Would there be much benefit?
Just as digestion is need to gain nutrients from the food you’re eating, comprehension of reading is needed to gain knowledge of what has been read.
Without comprehension, reading doesn’t help us to learn or grow.
Having the ability to comprehend allows us to extract information and use what we have read. Which is what gives reading its true value.

These reading comprehension worksheets are great for children in year 1/2 (so kindergarten or grade 1) - (please tell me I'm not the only only who thought it was kindergarden for my entire life! Only recently I discovered I was wrong and seriously I'm shook! lol!)
They don't require any writing. In fact you don't even need a pencil! So they're great for those reluctant writers.
All you need is something to colour with. Whether thats pencil crayons, felt tips or even paints! (Who remembers these paints from school!? I used to be obsessed with them!)
Let your little one get creative (and messy) as long as they work through the activity sheets and enjoy themselves during the process!
