π Topic Summary: What's a Question Mark?
A question mark (β) is a very special punctuation mark that we use at the very end of a sentence when we are asking a question. It's like a little signal that tells us someone is looking for an answer or wants to know more! For kindergarteners, learning about question marks is super important because it helps them understand how to form their own questions clearly when they talk and write, making their communication much more exciting and effective!
