Summary, etc.: Questions are powerful tools, especially in the classroom.

With this intentional approach-rooted in Bloom's Taxonomy-teachers working with children ages 3 through 6 will discover how to meet children at their individual developmental levels and stretch their thinking. Featuring contributions from respected names in the field, this bookOffers a foundation for using high-level questions in preschool and kindergarten interest areas. Provides tips for getting started and examples of questions at each of the six levels of questioningExplores the use of high-level questions during daily classroom routines and in a variety of contextsRecommends picture books that support the use of high-level questionsIncludes an extensive resource section for teachers and familiesWith the guidance in this book as a cornerstone in your day-to-day teaching practices, learn how to be more intentional in your teaching, scaffold children's learning, and promote deeper understanding.
