  1. Reading Comprehension Questions: The Three Basic Types…What are they and how can good readers tell the difference?

  2. Reading Comprehension Questions • Check reader understanding • Allow readers to think about what they have read • Give readers the opportunity to make connections with their reading

  3. THREE BASIC TYPES OF READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS • LITERAL • INFERENTIAL • CRITICAL

  4. LITERAL QUESTIONS • Usually the easiest to answer. • Information can be found right in the reading. • Questions can be answered using language word-for-word from the reading. • EX: How old was EdNah when she came to Crown Point? • “I was seven-nearly eight-years old.” (pg 5)

  5. INFERENTIAL QUESTIONS • More difficult than literal reading comprehension questions. • The information cannot be found word-for-word in one place. • The reader takes two or more pieces of information, puts them together, and reads between the lines to come to a conclusion. • Ex: Did the children have much parental guidance during the summer? No, because they were always doing troublesome things and getting into mischief.

  6. CRITICAL COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS • Usually the most difficult to answer. • Many critical reading comprehension questions ask the reader to make a personal judgment or decision, analyze character behavior, or re-imagine events from another perspective. Answers cannot be found in the reading. • Critical reading comprehension questions require readers to think BEYOND the text. • Ex: How would EdNah’s life at Crown Point have been different if Naneh and Little Fat did not befriend her?
