Here's an idea from:
Assessing Comprehension: Creative, Engaging and Meaningful Activities for Kindergartners
Presented by Trish Saccomano at SDE (Staff Development for Educators) National I Teach K conference, July 11th - 14th, Las Vegas, Nevada
It's difficult to assess a non or beginning reader's comprehension skills, but it can be done through pretelling and retelling stories. To retell a story successfully, a child must be able to think in a sequential manner. So before children begin retelling a story, have them think backwards in order to recall events in sequential order. Then students are ready to think forward in order to put the steps in the proper order. After practicing this skill, students are ready to begin retelling stories. More about that later!
Use simple classroom routines, games or projects with your students to practice these pretelling skills.
