PA RELA Standards Grades 3-5 Question Stems
Teachers and Parents: Asking the right questions can help students better comprehend complex texts, both fiction and non-fiction, and can be helpful in preparing students to know and be able to answer the types of questions they will see on assessments, both in class and on state tests. Question "stems" are questions that are appropriate to use for any texts. Try them with students, before, during and after reading a text or in comparing multiple texts.
