My daughters are in grades 5 and 2. They can read like crazy but they don't understand a single thing they read. Is there a book out there that I can read to help my daughters learn to comprehend?

Thanks so much

site with free worksheets, you can print them and they can fill them in. comprehend

here's the link, one above doesn't work. www.teach-nology.com/

My girls really enjoyed ED-Con classics. They are adaptations of classics, with short chapters. After each chapter there are comprehension questions and a puzzle of some sort. I have Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms on my bookshelf, others can be found here:

I think you should start w/ having them read a short amount, maybe a paragraph, then ask for a narration of what they've read. Help them at first and gradually increase the length of passages to narrate. This is a Charlotte Mason approach. You can learn more about it at www.amblesideonline.org I think!

there is a hooked on phonics program called your reading power it is for comprehension of short stories.  the stories are also on tape so they can listen and read along .
