Questioning

Our reading strategy for September was Self-Monitoring. We have now moved on to Questioning in October.

Students are encouraged to ask questions before reading to set a purpose for reading. Then while reading, students ask questions to determine understanding and to set further purposes for reading. At the end of reading, students are also encouraged to wonder what else they want to learn about the book or topic.

Students have been practicing these ideas whole group and with peers, while they continue to self-monitor and fix up their reading.
