Good readers must get inside the book. For comprehension to occur, several reading strategies must take place simultaneously. Students must connect with the book--the characters and the setting.The reader must visualize, picturing events as they happen. Predictions must be made, evaluated, revised, and then renewed. Prior knowledge must be related and compared. Students must constantly question the story, the characters, and the events. When all of this happens at once, usually without the reader consciously thinking about it, comprehension happens.
One skill that is particularly important is asking questions. Students must wonder, examine, doubt, and inquire as they read.
Examples of starts of questions might include:
How will the problem . . .
Why did she . . .
I wonder what will happen when . . .
Does this look like . . .
Why did that character . . .
How will she solve . . .
Where are they going to . . .
Who will be the one to . . .
Why did the author . . .
Why didn't he . . .
If I was there I wonder . . .
Students, as you read today, what questions did you have?
