A completion statement used during a read-aloud is asking the child to A) explain what happened in the story (B) state their favorite character (C) finish the sentence (D) All of the above

Completion statements during a read-aloud engage children and enhance comprehension by prompting them to think critically about the text. For instance, when asking them to finish a sentence, they can predict what might happen next, reinforcing their understanding of narrative structure and vocabulary. Encouraging children to share their favorite character not only sparks enthusiasm but also opens discussions about character traits and motivations, which deepens their connection to the story. It's like giving them a front-row seat to a narrative adventure!
