Learning Objective
I can use question marks for questions.
Today we will learn how to use question marks for questions. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.
A question mark (?) ends an interrogative sentence—a sentence that asks something. Direct questions always end with a question mark: "What time is it?" "Where are you going?" Notice that questions often begin with who, what, where, when, why, how, or do/does/did/is/are/was/were. Indirect questions embedded in statements do NOT get question marks: "She asked where you were." Practice identifying whether a sentence is asking or telling to decide which ending punctuation to use.
Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!
Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.

Teaching Tip
For younger learners: Use concrete objects and hands-on activities when teaching use question marks for questions. Keep sessions short (10-15 minutes) and incorporate movement or songs when possible.
