Dear third grade students,
What do you like about your class this year?

Reading Strategies: The Questioning Crew

Today, we practiced the questioning reading strategy. Asking questions is a normal procedure for finding out about the world, and proficient readers carry a questioning attitude into their reading. (Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?)

*Did this passage (reading) make sense to me?

*What should I be on the lookout for in this next passage?

*What does the author seem to think is most important?

*Why is the author telling me this now?
