This alludes to the other simplistic answer I was going to give. If nothing else, increasing a child's engagement in supported reading will increase comprehension, even without anything else. Not as much as necessary, of course, but it's something a family can do if they can get access to books. Making a reading time every night, or as often as possible, is a concrete "something" a parent can do.
