SIM Virtual Professional Learning

The Self-Questioning Strategy

Jan. 8 & 15, 2022

Presenters: Rosanne Arvin & Bonnie Palasak

Note: This professional learning event is a series of sessions, which will meet twice to learn the instructional routine and provide time for interaction and feedback, and meet three more times for one-hour small group coaching sessions.

The Self-Questioning Strategy helps students create their own motivation for reading. Students create questions in their minds, predict the answers to those questions, search for the answers to those questions as they read, and paraphrase the answers to themselves.

In research studies, students showed average gains of 40 percentage points in reading comprehension of grade-level materials after they learned the strategy.
