Do You Pass the Question Test?
Getting the right answers is not just your student's

Questions help students of all ages comprehend content, and students who use questions learn more subject matter than students who do not use questions. Questioning also helps students discover their own ideas; it gives them an opportunity to explore and to sharpen critical thinking skills.

The little mound of snow stopped. Two large ears raised up, and a nose.
"Hello, rabbit," said the bobcat. READ ON . . . |
