Book Talk - During Reading


Here are some questions you can ask your child about their reading; choose a few each night to engage in conversation with your child about their nightly independent reading.


During reading:

  • What has happened so far in the story? Can you tell me using sequence words? (first, then, next, after, finally, etc.)
  • What do you predict will happen next?
  • How do you think the story will end?
  • Why do you think the character did ____________?
  • What would you have done if you were the character?
  • How would you have felt if you were the character?
  • When you read, what pictures did you see in your head? How did you imagine it looked like?
  • What are you wondering about as you read? What questions do you have?
  • Think about the predictions you made before reading; do you still think the story will go that way? Why or why not? How do you think it will go now?
