RSS Feed How to Teach Questioning in First Grade | Writing About Reading Series
Are your first graders full of questions? Let's put that natural curiosity to work during reading!
In this episode of The Education Connection, Robin Wilson from First Grade Love shares simple, practical ways to teach questioning as a reading comprehension strategy in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade.
Discover how to help students ask meaningful questions before, during, and after reading—and how to turn those questions into drawing and writing activities that encourage deeper thinking.
We'll talk about creating a simple questioning anchor chart, modeling questions during a read-aloud, using partner talk, and helping students write their own "I wonder..." questions. You'll also hear ideas for using fiction and nonfiction books to encourage curiosity and help students return to the text to find answers.
The best part? These activities don't require complicated lesson plans or hours of preparation. Just a good book, meaningful conversation, and a little curiosity!
