Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do true or false questions help children learn?
Asking true or false questions on various topics is one of the simplest and fun ways to help children learn about different subjects. Since these are not trick questions and are generally short, they require the children to answer in either ‘true’ or ‘false,’ which keeps them interested and helps them improve their memory and critical-thinking skills. You can use True and False questions to help children aged 4 and 5 years understand English words better. According to Teri Courchene, a teacher and a blogger, ”One of the new games I have developed for the students is a True or False Sentence Game. It is both a reading and writing game and builds on the idea that children want to play games with reading and writing before they become fluent readers. Since there is considerable repetition, the children learn to recognize the words we are working with even though the children are (usually) at the early phonetic stage (sounding out individual letters in words). We make a small pouch for the word labels and the children are excited to take the games home and play with their parents. After I ask the child lots of questions about true and false and move lots of words around, I mix up all the words and ask the child to make some sentences. The joy the children get from this game is contagious (i).”
