Good questioning is key to successfully realizing your aims. Here are some generic questions that you may use in almost any teaching situation. The greater the range of questions, the greater the children's learning.

TEACHERS ASK QUESTIONS - -

ABOUT OBJECTS AND EVENTS
  • What do you see/hear?
  • How does this feel?
  • What is happening?

ABOUT THE CHILD'S ACTIONS, FEELINGS, AND MEMORIES

  • What did you do?
  • What did it remind you of?
  • What did you imagine?
  • What did you like/ dislike?
ABOUT THE CHILD'S THOUGHTS

  • How can you explain this?
