Ch. 4: Questioning

The authors suggest that good readers ask questions frequently during the reading process, and in fact start the reading process with questions in their minds. Teachers and parents should encurage students to ask questions and honor them with answers or acknowledgement when they arise.

Encourage childrent and young adults to ask questions while they read. Try to avoid stifling student questions while being read to out loud. Encourage students to keep a reading log - a notebook or piece of paper on which to write down their questions as they read. Sticky-notes can also help as well.

A number of suggestions to encourage questioning or provide feedback to readers are listed on pages 91-93.
