Description
How to teach Asking Questions
Using the Asking Questions Activity, students actively engage in group reading activities to discuss purpose and understanding after shared reading.
Being able to interact with the text that they are reading will help your students to gain a better understanding of what they have read. These basic questions will help your students as they focus on the most important parts of a story.
Your students can choose one of the eight after reading discussion cards to use after they have read. They can either engage in a written response or a discussion with a partner.

Use this What I Read, What I Saw Graphic Organizer Worksheet as an additional resource for your students.
Introduce these discussion cards by having students share about their favorite books. Next, students read independently or with a small group. Then, students choose discussion cards to discuss the text with a partner or small group. Finally, students share important details of what occurred during their discussion. Once finished, students can write more about the text using the Reading Response Journal.
