Check for Understanding- Frey and Fisher

One of the things that stood out to me in this week's articles was in the Frey and Fisher article "Identifying Instructional Moves During Guided Reading."  I particularly liked the questioning to check understanding part of the article.  For me I always thought checking for understanding just meant talking about the text and seeing if they students were grasping what it was about. However, the article points out that there is 6 different types of questions teachers should be asking to check to see if students are understanding what they are reading.  I really like table 2 that was included in the article and hope to incorporate it into my portfolio- it breaks down the 6 types of questions (Elicitation, elaboration, clarification, divergent, heuristic, inventive).  I really liked the inventive questions- it allows for students to use what they know from the text to be more creative and think outside the box.  I think this type of question would be great to use is a writing center because students could take what they have read and go even further with it.
