Description
How to Teach Asking Questions
Young children learn by asking. Kindergarten students are expected to ask questions to get help, to find out information, and to clear up something they do not understand, and to ask about the key details in a story. This asking questions worksheet is a teacher form that makes those moments easy to capture, so you can see which kinds of questions each child asks on their own and which ones still need modeling.
Using the Worksheet
The single page holds three observation cards. On each card, write the student’s name, the date, and the activity, such as a read-aloud, a center, or small-group reading. Then check each kind of question you hear the child ask: asking for help, asking to get information, asking to clarify something, or asking about key story details. Use the two lines under Question I heard to jot down the child’s exact words. Because every card is filled in from your own observations, the responses will vary from child to child. This kindergarten asking questions observation form fits on a clipboard, so you can carry it during centers and add notes as they happen.
What’s Included
- One printable page with three observation cards
- Student, date, and activity lines on every card
- Four checkboxes for the kinds of questions children ask
- Note lines for recording a child’s own question
Why It Helps Kids
- Shows which children ask questions independently and which need support
- Builds a record of growth in speaking, listening, and reading response
- Helps you plan mini-lessons that model each kind of question
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Keep a few copies of the asking questions worksheet in your guided reading binder and observe three children each day. Before a read-aloud, model one kind of question, such as asking what a new word means, and then listen for children who try it. Share the notes at conferences so families can encourage their child to ask questions at home, too.
