  1. Reading Strategies – Questioning Literal, Inferential, Critical Thinking (HOP pg. 12 – 13)

  2. Levels of questions • Literal Level Questions • InferentialLevel Questions • CriticalLevel Questions

  3. Purpose of questioning • helps readers think in different ways • helps students monitor their comprehension by asking questions while reading

  4. Literal level questions • answers are directly stated – can point to it • FACTS • who, what, when, where • information is on the surface • most readers agree because it’s directly stated Strategy: Read the material.

  5. Literal level questions - Examples • What is the main character's name? • What happened in the story on that page? • What materials did the three pigs use to build their houses?

  6. Inferential Level questions • answers can be understood from text ---> implied • not directly stated • author leaves clues to support • NOT always ONE right answer • can be answered from schema (background knowledge) but without use of own opinion • why, how • information is in between the lines or under the surface Strategy: Read between the lines.

  7. Inferential Level questions - examples • Why did the main character laugh? • What do you think will happen next? • Why did the first little pig build his house with straw?

  8. Critical level questions • answers not found in the text • require information outside of the text • answers go beyond the text. • information is in the head or somewhere else • what if, should • questions include other places, times, or people (perhaps yourself) in “what if” scenarios • reader uses prior knowledge and applies it to what is read to formulate new ideas beyond what the author intended • requires an opinion • Strategy: Read beyond the lines.

  9. Critical level questions - examples • How are you similar to the main character? • Why did the author write this book? • Should the wolf be punished for his bad deeds?

  10. Developing good questions • Be specific • List names and avoid pronouns • Include subject and verb • Anticipate an answer • Critical application requires judgment or opinion

  11. Use all three questions to … • Enhance your learning • Check your comprehension • Develop your critical thinking skills

  12. Short Story: Avery delighted in the crunch and crackle of the red, orange and yellow leaves under her feet as she walked home from school, but she failed to look both ways before crossing the street. Literal question: • “What colors were the leaves?“ Inferential question: • "What season was it?“ • “What happened to Avery when she crossed the street?” Critical evaluative question: • "What if Avery had just come from a safety class; would she have used more caution?” • “What if you saw Avery beginning to cross the street; what would you have done or felt? “ • “Who was more at fault, Avery or the driver?”
