Wisconsin FORT (Foundations of Reading) Practice Test

Which of the following strategies is intended to help students generate their own questions about reading materials?

1. Inflected endings

2. ReQuest

3. Story Schema

4. Rime

The correct answer is: ReQuest

The ReQuest strategy is intended to help students generate their own questions about reading materials. ReQuest stands for Reciprocal Questioning and is a comprehension strategy where students take turns asking each other questions about the text they are reading. This approach helps develop students' comprehension skills by encouraging them to actively engage with the material, think critically, and generate their own questions to deepen their understanding. In contrast, the other options mentioned are not directly related to the strategy of generating questions about reading materials. Inflected endings refer to word endings that indicate tense, number, person, or gender; Story Schema relates to prior knowledge and experiences that help readers understand text better; and Rime is the part of a syllable that contains the vowel and any consonants that follow it.
