Asking+Questions

Think Aloud


 * Asking Questions** or **Questioning** allows readers to think more deeply about their reading and learning. Proficient readers ask questions before, during, and after reading and learning. In Chapter 9 of __Reading With Meaning__ by Debbie Miller teaches us the importance of:


 * Asking //purposeful// and //spontaneous// questions before, during, and after reading and learning. **pg. 125**
 * Determining whether answers to students questions are found //in the text// or if they need to use their schema and evidence from the text to infer the answer. **pg. 127**
 * Unique interpretations of text by children. **pg. 130**
 * Listening to other students' questions and answers adds to our schema, thinking, and comprehension. **pg. 131**
 * Questioning is a life skill used in our personal as well as academic lives. **pg. 134**
 * **Evidence of understanding and independence. pg. 136**
