What Are Reading Comprehension Question Stems?

Question stems are the foundation of reading comprehension instruction. They provide you with a framework for asking questions that reveal student understanding and promote critical thinking about texts. When used correctly, question stems can ensure all reading comprehension strategies and standards are covered and will help reading instruction move from surface level to deeper levels of understanding.
