Use a variety of different text from multiple genres to support close reading and comprehension in the classroom. Each passage is followed by literal, inferential, and applied questions to determine the reader's comprehension of the material. The activities are designed to teach students to examine meaning thoroughly and analytically. Correlated to the Common Core State Standards.
Using literal, inferential & applied questioning is the rest of the title of this series from Teacher Created Resources which gives students 20 different texts from a variety of genres to read and reply to. Each unit is 5 pages longs and includes: teacher info (focus/genre/answer key/extension activities), 1 full page of text, 1 page covering literal & inferential questions, 1 page covering applied questions & 1 page that will require a student to apply a certain comprehension strategy (different with each unit.) The stories are fun to read and reflect a variety of cultures from an Irish folktale to a wizard teacher to contemporary text about their adventures of modern students. A useful resource for homeschoolers to check a student's reading comprehension level. Reproducible for a single classroom or family. Pages are perforated, black/white, CCSS correlated, 112 pgs, pb. ~ Sara
Seems like a good book to improve reading skills.
For my students to practice more with making inferences (I teach 4th-6th grade).
