Questions
to ask when reading with your Child
Ask questions to help your children think
about main idea, details, drawing conclusions,
inference, predicting outcomes and character
analysis. Ask questions that require a full
sentence answer. Encourage your children
to express themselves fully. Let them finish
their own sentences. The better they express
themselves verbally, the more fully they
will answer questions in the classroom.
Use these question words in discussions
with your children. Look for them when reading:
- Why
looking for reasons
-
Where looking for location
or position
- When
looking for things concerned with
time
- How
looking for way or method
- Who
centers on people or a particular
person
-
What is of very little aid
in narrowing the question being
ask(could mean that which, how much,
how or anything that)
