Read the starting approach in detail
Your child can chat in Turkish and may now want to interpret a story, explain a point of view or understand an unfamiliar expression. This path focuses on the needs of children looking for more ways to use the Turkish they already know.
Reading and comprehension
Step into a story, discover its main idea and discuss the characters.

A short story, information text or dialogue can open up a shared reading discussion. Activities can look beyond reading words aloud to identifying a main idea, interpreting a character’s choice and using a detail from the text to explain an answer.
- State a text’s main idea in their own words
- Find a clue in the text for a “Why do you think so?” question
- Retell a story with a beginning, middle and ending
Proverbs and idioms
Look beyond the words. Explore idioms and proverbs through examples.

Some expressions mean more than their individual words suggest. Exploring when someone might use a proverb, or what an idiom adds to a conversation, through short situations and example sentences can encourage children to think about meaning.
- Compare the literal and figurative meanings of an idiom
- Think of a short situation that fits a proverb
- Try a new expression in their own sentence
