CHAPTER 4
Asking Questions

Good readers ask questions before, during and after reading.

Asking questions will help your child to clarify his/her ideas and deepen his/her understanding.

Sharing your questions about a book with your child encourages him/her to ask questions.



While you are reading with  your  child, you might say...
  • I wonder what...
  • I wonder why...
  • I don’t understand why...
  • What does this mean?
  • Why...?
  • How come...?
