Questioning

"Ask Me" by Bernard Waber
Accelerated Reader Level:  1.7

In this sweet story, a father and daughter are taking a walk.  The inquisitive girl encourages her father to ask her questions to find out her favorite things.  Then, he follows up to gather more details.  This is a quick read that would be an excellent mentor text for either providing more details, question words or how to ask and answer questions.  It also could be used as a two-voice partner read (reader's theater).  The illustrations make this a perfect book to include at the beginning of the year.  You could ask students to partner up with someone that was not in their class last year.  Then they could partner up and ask them "get to know you questions" and follow it up with questions to gain more details.  When they are finished, each partner could introduce their new friend and share the most interesting thing they learned about them.   Another one for my wish list!
