Our reading mini-lessons this month are all about the strategy of questioning! Good readers ask questions as they read, and sometimes they're not even aware that they do this while they read a text. One thing we're emphasizing in class is that we want to aim for more "deep-thinking questions" rather than "quick questions" because deep-thinking questions enhance the meaning of a book. Students need to ask relevant and meaningful questions, often starting with words like why, I wonder, what if, why do you think, or how do you think. We always have interesting questions in our class, and it's been a joy to hear all of the deep-thinking questions students have with our books this month! Comments are closed.
