Why focus on questioning?
· Questioning allows curiosity. · Questioning helps us to believe that my questions matter and my thinking matters. · Questioning allows us to guide our reading. · Questions allow thinking - remember we want reading brains to be ‘busy brains’. · Questioning can lead to inferring. · Questioning builds upon a child’s natural impulse for curiosity. · Students are learning answering and asking questions. · The right question can be better than the right answer, so spend time developing the right question. · Students learn that that asking question can lead them to greater understanding of the text. · Students learn that not all questions have answers · Once a question is given and a right answer found, have the students look for another right answer. · Questions allow interaction of the reader to the text in three phase of reading (before, during and after). Questioning helps us to explore our own thinking.
