Questioning 1Questioning can be used effectively as a pre-reading strategy to enable children to gain a sense of what the text might be about and how it is organised before reading it closely. Using “I wonder” statements, children can be guided to generate their own thoughts about the text to set a purpose for reading.

Use these “I wonder” statements before reading Nat’s Truck to help children to predict and connect with the ideas they will need to comprehend within the story. By scanning the book, children should be encouraged to respond to the following statements.

• I wonder who this story will be about?• I wonder what will happen in this story?• I wonder when this story took place?• I wonder where this story happened?• I wonder why the events happened?
