When students are reading nonfiction, there are a few conferring questions that we can ask in order to help them better understand the text. For example, we can ask them about the author’s purpose for writing the text, the main idea of the text, and the key details that support the main idea. We can also ask them to make predictions about what will happen next in the text, and to explain how the text is organized. By asking these types of questions, we can help students to better understand the text and to make connections to their own prior knowledge.
