Last week, we started our Eric Carle unit in language arts. We have several goals for this unit, including developing reading comprehension strategies such as monitoring and clarifying, questioning, schema, and retelling/summarizing. Last week, we created “I wonder” statements as we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Mister Seahorse. “I wonder” statements are a starting point for asking meaningful questions as we read. Readers who ask questions are not only more engaged as they read, they also form more meaning as they strive to find answers to their own questions.
