Speaking Briefly: An Overview of the Literacy Strategy

The National Reading Panel (2000) confirmed the value of generating and asking questions while reading to monitor comprehension and facilitate active engagement with text. Graphic organizers were also mentioned in the report as effective tools to enable readers to see relationships among concepts and to focus on text structure.

The purpose of My Web of Questions is to facilitate students' comprehension of text through question generation. My Web of Questions provides students with a graphic organizer to guide them through the process of strategic reading and specifically the strategy of inquiry-based reading.
