Which term means constantly asking questions about what is being read?

• A. Question generation
• B. Summarization
• C. Graphic organizers
• D. Metacognition

Answer: (A)

The behavior described is a reader actively producing questions while reading to check understanding and guide the process. This is known as question generation—the practice of constantly forming questions about the text to deepen engagement, anticipate content, and identify gaps in knowledge as you go.

This fits best because it directly names the act of asking questions as you read. Summarization is about restating the main ideas, often after reading, not about ongoing questioning. Graphic organizers are tools to visually arrange information, not the act of questioning itself. Metacognition refers to overall awareness and control of one’s thinking, which can include questioning, but the specific term for the ongoing practice of generating questions is question generation.
