Hello Melanie,
Yes, I am another first grade teacher.This is the perfect
opportunity for modeling a think aloud strategy while reading a text.
I find that children really do not understand the difference between a
question and a statement.
I use an activity to teach my students how to participate in a
conversation by asking each child a question which they must answer in
a complete sentence, and then having each child ask me a question
which I answer in at least a complete sentence. I find that the oral
modeling leads successfully to the written piece.
I hope this helps!
