Early reading

an important means for children to obtain direct experience

lays a foundation for children’s future growth and development. Picture-book teaching has become a trend in kindergarten teaching. Because of the simple content

vivid pictures and prominent themes of picture-book

it is easy for children to understand and read. However

in practice

teachers’ questions in picture-book teaching have some problems

such as unclear purpose

stereotyped questions

single questioning methods

neglecting children’s thinking and questioning

and failing to stimulate children’s interest. In view of these problems

teachers should pay attention to the use of inspiring and appropriate questions

give children time to think

choose a variety of questioning methods and pay attention to the contextualization of questioning design in order to improve the effectiveness of questioning.
