If you have even read a page and do not know what you read, you can ask interesting questions as you read. There are 4 types of questioning including:

1. Right There: “What did…? Who did…? Who is…?”

2. Author and Me: “What can you infer…? Why do you think…?”

3. Think and Search: “What happened to…? Summarize…?”

4. On my Own: “Have you ever..? If you could…?”

Use all the questions to guide your thinking in an overall response to the how the questioning strategy guides, helps, and engages us (as teachers and students) in reading.

Depth of Knowledge Video

The Depth of Knowledge levels are broken into categories to establish how deep learning in a particular content area can go. The four levels include:

Level 1- Recall & Reproduction (Ex: Who?, What?, Where?, When?, How?)

Level 2- Basic Application of Skills & Concepts (Ex: How does it happen?, How is

it used?, etc.)

Level 3- Strategic Thinking (Ex: What is the cause?, What is the effect?, etc.)

Level 4- Expended Thinking (Ex: What is the relationship?, What is the influence?,

etc.)

I have used questioning to engage with reading when I did an interactive read aloud with my second grade placement class. The book I chose was non-fiction and talked about the characters life growing up. When I was reading I asked the students author and me questions to really get them thinking about the underlying message the author was trying to get across to the readers. when I am reading to students I more often use author and me questions because I think it is important for them to get the author central message of the text. In the classroom I use more on my own questions because I want to make more of a connections between me and my students rather than just straight to the poing questions.

I  have engaged with reading by utilizing questioning when I did an interactive read aloud with my kindergarten placement. The book I chose a non-fiction book that discussed characteristics that make each of us special. While I was reading I would stop and ask students author and me, and on my own questions to get students to make connections to the text and have them infer what the message the author was tying to portray. In the classroom I most often use think and search and on my own questions to help my students reflect and so I can connect with with them and help them make real world connections. I also use think and search questions to get students thinking deeper about the content; to go beyond just what it is presented. In reading I most often use author and me and right there questions. Right there questions make sure students are comprehending the text and then are apply to go beyond the text through author and me questions and read between the lines and make inferences about what the author is stating and how that might foreshadow what's to come.

I think that asking questions before, during, and after reading are important factors to assess a student's comprehension. During my interactive read aloud that I did in my placement, I asked the students questions before I began reading in order to activate their prior knowledge. This geared their minds into the right direction as to what our story was going to be about. Throughout the reading I asked students questions in order for them to make connections with the text in order for them to have a deeper understanding of the reading. By asking guiding the students with different questions, I am able to better help them realize the important meanings of what we are reading. The students are also able to realize that they can connect to the reading, and I can gain their interest more by showing them they have background knowledge and connections with the story.

I believe it is important for teachers to incorporate both "thin" and "thick" questions in the classroom because students need to have the ability to answer both. A student needs to have the tool of searching through passages or paragraphs for specific answers to questions. A student must also have the comprehension ability to recall information which was directly stated in a text. For students to be able to answer "thick" questions, they have to have the ability to think outside of the text. This comes with the ability to make connections to other ideas and utilize prior knowledge. A teacher must evaluate the ability that students have or do not have while thinking past the text itself. Being able to answer both "thin" and "thick" questions allows students to have a stronger understanding of what they are reading and how the reading connects to other topics and ideas.

It is important for teachers to incorporate both "thin" and "thick" questions in their questions for students to respond to because beginning with "thin" questions or questions that can be answered based on the text can jump-start the thinking process for students to get into the "thick questions" where they will need prior knowledge or have the ability to make connections.

I have used the visualizing strategy within a lesson as I worked with students on including details in their writing. I had students write a paragraph about a fun summer they remember and before beginning writing, we talked about what kind of memories we saw in our head. We spoke about details such as the weather, who was there, where we were, etc. and this allowed students to create an image of their summer in their minds. Utilizing this strategy of visualization helps students notice and remember details as they paint a picture in their head. I would use this strategy again and maybe add a bit more to the lesson to help students stay more engaged/interested.

I have seen recall and reproduction used many times in placement. Specifically I have seen this used in read alouds in the younger grades. The teacher will model how to think about the plot of a story by asking questions like who, what, when, where, and why? When the teacher is doing this, she is making the students question what they are reading and really think about the process.

I have used questioning to engage readers while reading. I did this with an interactive read aloud during a small group tutoring session. I chose a non-fiction book, and I used the Think and Search questioning strategy. While we read, I would stop the students and ask them what we just read about or what happened to a specific character. We were working on summarizing and comprehension, so I also had the students summarize what happened on a certain page. In the classroom, I feel that I use the On My Own questioning strategy the most.
