Hey guys and dolls, today I’m here to quickly chat with you about questioning your students in the
classroom, especially during read aloud time.
I know how chopped up our school day can get, and sometimes we just need a quick routine to make
the most of our day. Sometimes we have special questions for certain books, especially when there is
a specific comprehension skill that you would like to teach. But on the days where you want to read
some fun read alouds, you can also step up your questioning.
Whenever I pick a story to read aloud, I always discuss with my students how good readers ask
questions before, during, and after reading. And then I pick when we are going to ask questions
about our story.
Having these questions on a handy dandy ring, allows me to keep them close by. It’s also great
to leave behind for a sub. I also have a set of story task cards that I leave in my reading center with
my students. There is a version for our readers, and there is also a picture version for our babies
who are just starting out!
You can grab these for free right here!
