I am currently working in a kindergarten classroom and this has been a
struggle for me too. One thing I do is: when we do our picture walk to help
us make predictions we talk about questions we may have before we read, as
students share there questions I write them on our class reading log. As we
read I may write down a question I may have and encourage students to share
theirs. Once we are done we revisit our questions, determine if we can
answer them after we have read and write down our answers. At this point if
there are any other questions students have they share them and see if
anyone can answer them. It took a lot of modeling in the beginning,to what
are good questions but the kids really are catching on. I also use this
same format for our small group work as this allows me to help the more
struggling students in a smaller setting.
Best of Luck!
