Comprehension skills change as children grow...
In the early years, stories help children build memory by practising how to remember simple details. This includes noticing who was in the story, where it took place, and what happened first and next. As children listen or read, they learn to hold information in their mind and then recall it later. These skills support listening to others, learning new information, following instructions, and talking about their own experiences in a clear way.
