Abstract
Abstract The advent of Generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, in November 2022, necessitated immediate and critical attention from the educational research community. The impact of GenAI in education, though not yet clear, has the potential to be transformative. More specifically, the focus of this paper is on how to integrate GenAI into elementary literacy education. We, as teacher educators, aim to showcase how to prompt ChatGPT to generate high‐quality questions during a read‐aloud. We discuss the easy access teachers have to GenAI tools and stress the pivotal role they have in decision‐making. We encourage teachers to explore, learn, and understand how to work with GenAI tools to get the most out of it and thus facilitate their agency, teaching, and learning.
