So sorry for the lack of posts these past few days, but life was getting crazy! Now, back to Today's Reading Tip!
Today's tip is in regards to asking questions to help your child retain comprehension of what was read. I created some cute little question owls, and for the life of me can not seem to find them now! Anyways, I would love to tell you how to make your own.
Here is what you will need:

Today's tip is in regards to asking questions to help your child retain comprehension of what was read. I created some cute little question owls, and for the life of me can not seem to find them now! Anyways, I would love to tell you how to make your own.
Here is what you will need:
- 6 tongue depressors OR popsicle sticks
- 6 owl stencils cut out on cardstock or very heavy paper
- a sharpie
- some white glue
- WHO
- WHAT
- WHERE
- WHEN
- WHY
- HOW
Here are some ways I use mine in the classroom and at home with LoLo:
- As we read I occasional stop and hold up a sign and ask a question, such as: "WHO stole the cookie?"
- If my students have a question as I am reading they can hold up an owl and ask me a quesion. Example, Leah held up the WHAT owl and asked "what happened to the troll under the bridge?"
- At the end of the story I use the owls to recap. I hold up each one and ask a specific question. Example, "WHO is the main character," "WHERE did the story take place," etc.
