Common Core Anchor Standards for Reading
Read to gain literary and cultural knowledge and familiarity with text structures (literary texts)
Read to build knowledge and background to be better readers (informational texts)
Structure curriculum to develop rich content knowledge within and across grades
ReadingA skilled reader rapidly and accurately
decodes the words, attaches the meaning to words and sentences, connects text information to relevant background knowledge, maintains a mental representation of what he or she has already read, forms hypotheses about upcoming information and makes decisions based on his or her purpose for reading – all at the same time.
Carlisle and Rice 2002
ComprehensionOld WayStudents read.Teacher asks questions about what they read.New WayAfter preparation for a story, students read
with decreasing support from the teacher.As students read, the teacher models reading
strategies (thinks aloud as a reader) with gradual release of responsibility.

Dinosaurs Survived Mass Extinction by 700,000 Years, Fossil Find Suggests
University of Alberta researchers determined that a fossilized dinosaur bone found in New Mexico confounds the long established paradigm that the age of dinosaurs ended between 65.5 and 66 million years ago.
The U of A team, led by Larry Heaman from the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, determined the femur bone of a hadrosaur as being only 64.8 million years old. That means this particular plant eater was alive about 700,000 years after the mass extinction event many paleontologists believe wiped all non-avian dinosaurs off the face of earth, forever.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. "Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?" "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:
It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.

McCain, Franklin (Franklin Eugene), 1941-
Franklin Eugene McCain is one of the original four who took part in the Woolworth sit-in on February 1, 1960 in Greensboro, North Carolina. "Franklin Eugene McCain was born in Union County, North Carolina, in 1942, and raised in Washington, D.C. He graduated from Eastern High School in 1959 and attended North Carolina A&T State University. McCain and three other A&T freshmen, now known as the 'Greensboro Four,' are credited with initiating the sit-in movement when they sat down at the F. W. Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro on February 1, 1960 and requested service.”

Details in Different Text Types Format level (macro level)
– How it looks – poem, recipe, for instance
Vocabulary level (micro level)– Hoop skirts = historical fiction– Interplanetary protection gear =
science fiction– Clue = mystery– Riding a bus to school = realistic fiction
Visualizing to Determine Text Type Give students words from a text type and
have them visualize the scene:– Ogre, unicorn, book, potion
– Summer, camping, missing tent, flashlight
Begin making lists of vocabulary specific to a text type on your Text Type posters.

What Kind of a Reader Are You?
Steps for Introduction of Text Type Studies in Classrooms
Give the survey, “What kind of reader are you?”
Put up text type posters in classrooms Discuss the text type of any selection in
reading, content areas, read alouds Add the title to the appropriate poster Add vocabulary of the text type to the poster After a while, ask children if they can identify
the text type Give children books or selections and see if
they can identify the text type Urge them to read a different text type than
they usually do
During Reading: What Do Good Comprehenders Do?Comprehension Strategies
What good readers do to understand the text Make connections Summarize Make predictions Visualize Ask questions Clarify Adjust reading speed
During Reading: Make Connections
Three levels of making connections:– Text to self– Text to world– Text to text
Making connections deepens our understanding of the text
Making connections expands our understanding of the text and our own knowledge
Readers ask themselves– What does this remind me of
In my life In something I’ve seen or heard In another selection that I’ve read
During Reading: Visualize Visualizing is creating a mental picture
about the text Visualizing involves
– Picturing what the author wrote– Going beyond the text and incorporating prior
knowledge and experience that deepen understanding
Readers visualize– The setting– The characters– The action
During Reading: Visualizing (continued)
Visualizing is used in fiction and nonfiction texts
Visualizing helps us understand complex processes in nonfiction
Authors help us visualize by using– Illustrations– Diagrams– Maps
Good readers ask themselves– What picture is in my mind?– Does the picture extend beyond the text?– Would making a drawing help me understand?
During Reading: Summarize Summarizing involves putting the
information into our own words. It involves determining importance If a reader cannot summarize, they reread
to find the gaps The difficulty of the text determines how
often a reader summarizes– In nonfiction: after each section– In fiction: after an episode has been read– Whenever we have put down a book and are
about to begin reading again
During Reading: Summarize Good readers ask:
– Does this make sense?– What is this about?– How can I put this in my own words?
GISTWho?What?How?When?Where?Why?
13 word summary
GIST
Who? The three little pigsWhat? Built houses How? Of straw, sticks, brickWhen? ??Where? ??Why? To live on their own
GISTWho? The big bad wolfWhat? Blew down the little pigs’ houses, but could
not blow down the house of bricksWhy? To eat themWhen? ??How? By huffing and puffing and blowing their
house downWhere? ??
The Big Bad Wolf tried to blow down the Three Little Pigs’ houses and eat them by huffing and puffing, but he could not blow down the brick house.
The Wolf could not blow down the brick house to eat the Pigs.
During Reading: Make Predictions
Predicting involves – Summarizing what has been read so far– Identifying clues and events in the text– Making connections to prior knowledge and
personal events to make inferences about what will happen next
Predictions are never wrong, just confirmed or disconfirmed
Readers ask:– What are the clues in the text?– What do I already know that will help me know
what will happen next?
During Reading: Ask questions Asking questions allow the reader to check the
understanding and follow the writer’s train of thought
We ask questions about what we might learn Asking questions clears up confusion or makes us
wonder why something is in the text the way it is Asking questions is like having a teacher inside
you to ask comprehension questions Good readers ask
– Why is this the way it is?– What new information am I learning?– What questions will be answered as I read?– What does not make sense?
During Reading: Clarify We clarify when we do not understand a
word or concept Good readers ask
– What does not make sense? (WAC a word) If it is a word, how can I figure it out?
– Word Structure The father said he would disinherit his son unless he did as he asked.
– Apposition He suffered from somnambulism, walking in his sleep.
– Context The man reached up to get the camera. He stretched his body.
– What is the main idea of what I just read?– Can I put what I just read into my own words?
During Reading: Adjust Reading Speed
We adjust our reading speed by– Speeding up when the text is easy– Slowing down when the text is hard
Good readers ask themselves– Am I understanding what I am reading?– Can I remember what I read?– Do I need to re-read more slowly?
During Reading: Procedures for Teaching Comprehension
Modeling and thinking aloud
– Especially effective on a first read or read aloud
During Reading: Procedures for Teaching Comprehension
During reading:– Model summarizing– Model clarifying– Model asking questions– Model predicting– Model making connections– Model visualizing– Model adjusting reading speed
During Reading: Procedures for Teaching Comprehension
Use gradual release of responsibility
– I do it
– We do it together
– You do it alone
Procedure for Gradual Release of Responsibility
I do it:– This is a good time to stop because ____. I am going to
____(comprehension strategy). Apply the strategy.
We do it together:– Teacher: This is a good time to stop because ____. We are
going to ____(comprehension strategy).– Students: Apply the strategy.
We do it together:– Teacher: This is a good time to stop because ____. – Students: I am going to ____(comprehension strategy).
Apply the strategy.
You do it:– This is a good time to stop because ____. I am going to
____(comprehension strategy). Apply the strategy.
Comprehension Skills What the author does to help us
understand what was written.
Used the second time a selection is read.
Comprehension Skills Author’s purpose Text Structures
– (Description) -Cause and effect– Sequence -(Problem and solution)– Compare and contrast
Author’s point of view Main idea and details Classify and categorize Fact and opinion Drawing conclusions/making inferences
Author’s purpose Every author writes for a reason Most common reasons:
– Entertain– Persuade– Inform
Knowing this gives the reader an idea of what to expect and maybe an idea of what the author is going to say
Entertain: reader relaxes and lets story carry him or her
Persuade: Be aware the author wants you to think in a certain way
Inform: Pay attention because you are going to learn something
Text StructuresDescription
The author explains a topic, idea, person, place, or thing by listing characteristics, features, and examples.
Focus is on one thing and its components
Text Structure Sequence
The author lists items or events in numerical or chronological order
Describes the order of events or how to do or make something (procedure or process)
Text StructureCompare and Contrast
Compare = similarities
Contrast = differences
The author explains how two or more ideas, objects, or processses are alike and/or how they are different
Text StructuresCause and Effect
The author lists one or more causes or events and the resulting consequences or effects
Effect = what happened? Cause = what made it happen? Purpose is to explain why or how
something happened, exists, or words– If/then pattern
Text StructureProblem and Solution
The author states a problem and lists one or more possible solutions to the problem
May also include the pros and cons for the solutions
Author’s point of view Who is telling the story? First person: one of the characters in the
story describes the action and tells what the other characters are like– I, me, my
Third person: someone outside the story who is aware of the characters’ thoughts, feelings, and actions tells the story – He/she, him/her, it
Being aware of this helps to know whether the reader is given the full picture or not
Main idea and details The reader should know what the author is
writing about The main idea is strengthened by details
that help the reader understand the main idea
Examples of details:– Compare and contrast– Provide examples– Provide facts– Give opinions– Give descriptions– Cause and effect– Give definitions
Classify and categorize The relationships of actions, events,
characters, and outcomes in a selection
The BFG
Characters Settings Events SolutionProblem
Fact and opinion
Essential to critical thinking What needs to be in place for it to be
provable? An opinion is not provable, but
should be based on fact. This helps determine the validity of
ideas
Drawing conclusions/making inferences
Writers do not directly state everything Reader must “read between the lines” Information from the text+Connection to what I knowInference or draw a conclusion The boy punched him+I know boys who punch others (bullies)He is a bully
After Reading: Checking Comprehension
Be sure your comprehension questions are challenging the students to think
Your Turn Look at your next science or social studies
lesson. Plan to use at least one comprehension
strategy and one skill in your lesson.– Plan which skill fits best with your lesson– Find at least 2 places to model it– Plan a way for children to apply the skill
themselves– Plan an assessment to determine if they
understand what the author did to help them comprehend

Teaching the Big 5 To be most effective, the five critical
components need to be taught explicitly within classrooms that are strongly positive and engaging, use writing activities to support literacy, and provide students with many opportunities to read interesting text and complete authentic reading and writing assignments.
