About this Episode
This week we’re diving into the art of asking good questions. This is one of the most powerful tools for building reading comprehension and critical thinking. We’ll explore how to model curiosity, guide kids beyond “yes or no” answers, and help them interact with texts in a meaningful way. Whether you’ve got a brand-new reader or a middle schooler flying through novels, asking better questions can change the way your homeschool approaches reading.
