Reading readiness and questioning
This week we are thinking about how to get the most out of our little readers. How do we get them ‘in the mood’? How do we ask the right questions? What ARE the right questions?
Its simple.
There are no ‘right’ questions. Any question that encourages your child to think about what they are reading is a great one.
Read on to discover handy hints for our very young readers, progressing onto our
flourishing readers. Remember, there is no fixed age or stage of development, it is about getting our children thinking and the same question could be asked to many children; the detail in their response will vary.
So…..find a book and get comfy!
Good ideas for questions to ask with specific reference to pages in a book. More of these would be great!
