A Look at the Many Layers of Questioning with Young Children

Questioning with young children in shared storybook reading and in our day-to-day conversations is an important and valuable way to facilitate expanded oral language skills, deeper listening comprehension, and higher-order thinking skills. There are multiple layers to the questions we use and considerations for what types of questions are appropriate in early literacy settings with preschool and kindergarten children. This webinar describes the layers of questions and what research suggests for questioning routines in our early childhood classrooms.
