-Our Focuses Which Make Us Different-

-Reading comprehension-

Factual: explicit questions, black and white questions, focus on obvious details that are in the text. First, identify the details. Second, remove irrelevant parts of the text.

Inferencing: implicit questions, harder than factual questions, need to understand a “hidden” or concealed meaning that is suggested. The information is not directly said or shared with the reader.

Sequencing: requires statement of the events in order. In the text; what happened first, it does not matter which event was first, second, and so on.

Predicting: us of ‘clues’ from the text combined with personal knowledge and experiences to anticipate what might happen next. The more that is read, the more information is gantered (then able to revise predictions)

Factual: explicit questions, black and white questions, focus on obvious details that are in the text. First, identify the details. Second, remove irrelevant parts of the text.

Making Connections: deals with activating prior knowledge, focus on teaching to make connections between a text and their own experiences and understanding. Reading comprehension is enhanced when you are able to connect new information with prior knowledge and emotion.

Monitoring Comprehension: when you reflect on and/or assess understanding while reading the text, active reading, active reading strategies, etc. Examples that help are rereading, taking notes in margin, and asking clarifying questions.

Visualization: can deepen understanding, asks to create and describe an image(s) in their mind: can be of a place, character, or event, using all 5 senses to help. This also helps with recall.

Summarizing: what do you understand from the text, what are the most important ideas, a good summary includes the main idea and the key details that support the main idea.

Information Transfer: information that can be categorized, usually in a table form.

Vocabulary in Context: questioning/analyzing vocabulary word(s) or phrase(s) in a text.

Applied Vocabulary: must analzye vocabulary, use their own words to describe parts of the text such as a situation or character.

Reflection: personal thoughts about something that happened or someone in text. Using active reading strategies is a wonderful and effective way to keep building reading comprehension.
