Questioning in Reading

Over the last week we have been hard at work with our new reading skill: Questioning! The students are all working hard on coming up with questions for Before, During and After reading. Tonight you will see your child's book covered with post it notes. They are labeled B, D, and A. They are to come up with a question for each post it note based on the part of the story they are on. "Before, During, and After." Help your child best by helping them come up with "deeper" questions. Questions such as "what happened at the beginning" is a very basic question. We are working towards getting deeper questions such as "How did the character feel during this part of the story? Why did the character feel this way? Can you think of a time when you felt this way?"

Questions that we all think to ourselves in our head while we read, but don't say out loud is what we are working on. Things that you "wonder" or connect with is what we are striving for.
