Asking Questions | Se poser des questions

Good readers ask questions before, during and after reading.

Asking questions will help your child to clarify his/her ideas and deepen his/her understanding.
Sharing your questions about a book with your child encourages him/her to ask questions.

While you are reading with your child, you might say…

  • I wonder what… | Je me demande…
  • I wonder why… | Je me demande pourquoi…
  • I don’t understand why… | Je ne comprends pas pourquoi…
  • What does this mean? | Qu’est-ce que ceci veut dire?
  • Why…? | Pourquoi… ?
  • How come…? | Pourquoi… ?
