Once children read fluently (typically levels N+), we need to push them to think about books in a deeper way. Instead of asking questions about recall (What happened? ) , try asking the following questions:
What do you have in common with the main character in the story? How are you different?
How does the main character feel? How do you know?
Why do you think the character acted that way? What would you have done?
What do you think was the author's purpose in writing this?
What is the problem in this story? What solutions can you come up with for this problem?
What predictions do you have?
What are the main themes of the story? How do these themes relate
