Question Quest Day 2
Students will reinforce the Ask & Answer Questions strategy by rotating through three differentiated stations—a teacher-led modeling station, a hands-on question-card match game at the aide-led station, and independent practice—to generate Before, During, and After questions.
Varied, interactive practice deepens comprehension, fosters collaboration, and helps students transfer questioning skills to independent reading across subjects.
