YES/NO QUESTIONS

Yes/no questions Yes/no questions are simply questions that can be answered with either yes or
no. For example, Is this article about testing reading comprehension? This is a common form of
comprehension question, but it has the drawback of allowing the student a 50% chance of
guessing the correct answer. So when using yes/no questions, we recommend following up with
other forms of questions to ensure that the student has understood the text. Yes/no questions can
be used to prompt all six types of comprehension. When yes/no questions are used with personal
response or evaluation, other forms of questions seem to follow readily. For example, Did you like
this article? Why? The follow-up questions may be more useful in helping students than the initial
yes/no questions.
