  1. Strong readers understand that questioning is critical to deeply understanding a work of literature.

  2. Readers, I want to talk to you about Dylan. His brain is constantly on! He asks sooo many questions! Many of his questions are really thoughtful. For example, he asked me what would happen if he lost all of his bones in his body or why do some birds fly and others do not?

  3. But sometimes, he asks questions that he could figure out on his own. For example, he’ll ask if Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean is a bad guy. He knows the answer, but just asks to get confirmation.

  4. …and this made me think of reading! Strong readers are constantly questioning in their books. And, just like Dylan, some of those questions are thoughtful and some – not so much.

  5. There are 4 types of questions I want to talk to you about today. 1. Right There 2. Think and Search 3. Author and Me 4. On My Own

  6. So…let’s look back at The True Story of The Three Little Pigs for some examples of each type of question. Right There The answer is in the text and you can point to the answer – it is right there!! Example: Which point of view is the story written in? The Wolf’s These questions are usually to monitor understanding of text.

  7. Think and Search The answer is in multiple places, but it is up to the reader to go back and find it! Example: What are the pigs’ houses made of? Sticks, Straw, and Bricks Again, these questions are used to monitor understanding of text.

  8. Author and Me These answers come from your head, but you use text evidence to back up your answer – Don’t ask questions that have the answer “Yes” or “NO” Example: After reading the story, do you think A. Wolf is guilty or innocent? Why or Why not? This is a higher level question that requires your own inferences as well as text evidence!

  9. On My Own The answers are NOT in the text at all – you can relate these to themes/issues in the story. Example: Explain what you think the phrase “there are two sides to every story” means.

  10. As readers, you want to focus on the last 2 types primarily as you read. *Author and Me *On My own The first two types should be used mainly to clarify your understanding. *Right There *Think and Search

  11. I want you to think back to Click, Clack, Moo – Cows That Type. Come up with a question for each type. Right There Think and Search Author and Me On My Own

  12. Readers, as you read independently, remember to think about the types of questions you are being asking. Make sure you have more Author and Me and On My Own type of questions!!
