Getting them to talk about their books can help. It can boost memory, critical thinking, and comprehension. Ask who, what, why, when, where, and how questions like these:

Why did you select your book?

What’s it about?

Where does the story take place?

Who is the main character?

Who is your favorite character?

What is the most interesting part of the book to you?

What main idea do you think the author was trying to get across?

What conflict is important to the story?

How is this conflict resolved?

How does the story end?

How do you wish it ended?
