Six Main Types of Reading Comprehension (pdf)
|
-
Summarizing is reducing large selections of text to their base essentials: their gist, key ideas, the main points that are worth noting and remembering.
-
Summarizing should also include relevant supporting details, which include reasons, examples, facts, steps, or other kinds of evidence that backs up and explains the main idea.
-
Details are pieces of information revealed by the author or speaker that supports the attitude or tone in a piece of poetry or prose. In informational text, details provide information to support the author’s main point.
-
The plot is the sequence of events or actions in a short story, novel, drama, or narrative poem.
-
Conflict is the struggle or clash between opposing characters, forces, or emotions.
-
The climax is the high point or point of most tension in a literary work.
-
In nonfiction/informational text, the event/topic is the subject of the entire paragraph/text selection.
-
In fiction, the main idea is the central thought or premise of a reading passage. The main idea answers “Who?”, “What?” and “What did the character do or learn?”
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
