Read with Curiosity, Learn Through QuestionsWhat if asking questions while you read isn't a sign that you don't understand—but evidence that you're actively learning?In this episode of the Black-Liberation.Tech AI for Academic Success series, Dr. Renée Jordan enters the Homework Help Lab and begins putting the workbook's learning strategies into practice.First, meet the Homework Help Lab Scholars and Nevaeh, a learner beginning to discover how artificial intelligence can serve as a thinking partner. Then meet Rosario, whose story introduces the first learning strategy: reading with questions.Through the Help Me Understand What I Read activity, Dr. Jordan explores how learners can prompt AI to help them identify important vocabulary, define key terms, make connections to what they already know, understand why ideas matter, and generate questions that check their understanding.The episode also examines an important boundary: AI should support the reading process, not replace it. Learners remain responsible for reading the source material, evaluating AI's explanations, protecting private or restricted information, and doing the thinking necessary to build their own understanding.Because strong readers don't need to have all the answers.They remain curious enough to keep asking better questions.
