Italics mean that this question is the same for both literature and informational texts.
In addition to our reading times at home, my children participate in a reading time at our local library our home school co-operative. These extra activities give them some opportunity to engage in group reading activities as per RL.K.10, and RI.K.10.
Now that I have made my list, I will choose six or so of the questions that we have not thoroughly covered, and write them on an index card and place the card on the kids' bookshelf to remind me what I need to be asking during Monday's reading time.
Are there other questions you would use during reading time with a five-year-old?
Those are great questions. I also ask, once or twice throughout a book, "What do you think that person is going to do now?" or "What do you think will happen next?" or "What would you do in this situation?"
ReplyDeleteThis helps my kids engage with the story, but of course it doesn't work if we're reading a book that they've read a hundred times :)
Those are great questions too. Although my kids tend to answer with, " I don't know keep reading!"
