About the Book

The ability to ask incisive questions is a powerful skill set that children can acquire and develop if the classroom and whole-school environments support it. This essential book offers a range of engaging and inclusive activities that promotes children’s questioning and feeds their natural sense of curiosity and wonder.

Question Quest explores the various types of questions that can be asked in a number of educational contexts, from the point of view of both teachers and pupils. Packed with 100 practical activities, the book seeks to boost children’s self-confidence in asking questions and provides the tools to establish a ‘questioning classroom’ where asking questions is encouraged and celebrated in order to enhance children’s learning. With clear and practical explanations, the authors argue how questioning is an intelligent behaviour that is essential in nurturing children’s innate desire to learn constantly. Topics covered include:

  • Establishing a questioning classroom
  • Questioning and creativity
  • Questions and creative writing
  • Conducting a discussion
  • Philosophical enquiry
  • Questioning and life coaching

This book is a key resource for any school, teacher or parent looking to foster and develop critical thinking skills in children and young people.
