Questioning

This week, we started learning that good readers ask questions!  We ask questions before we read a book, while we read a book, and even after we read a book!  The more questions we ask, the more we think about what we are reading!

We are starting to learn that some questions are "thick" questions, which really help us understand the story better; and some questions are "thin" questions, which pique our interest, but don't help us develop a deeper understanding.  This type of question might help us make a connection or lead us to another topic that interests us!

In the coming weeks, we will also talk about the fact that some questions have answers that are found directly in the book and some questions we have to do further research outside the book! We are going to spend a lot of time working on this skill. As you read with your child this weekend, see if you can generate some questions to go with the book you are reading!

Here is a list of all of the question words we were able to generate as a team!  Happy Friday!
