Overview

The Questioning Cube Game is part of WPSU’s Blue Ribbon Readers, a collection of seven interactive games designed to help elementary school students gain reading comprehension competencies. In the game, students practice asking questions about short stories or passages of expository prose. The practice of generating and answering their own questions before, during, and after reading, helps students actively create solid mental connections.

This resource allows students to answer questions about a text that has been read aloud using the 5 W's strategy.
