Questions to talk about when you are completing read alouds:
?
Does the author explain what the word means? Does the rest of the page help? Do the graphics provide clues? Is there a glossary?
• Read the word and
words around it
• Look at the pictures
• Is there a glossary?• Draw a picture or
write a sentence.
23
Pick a word that you don’t already know the definition of.
24
* Let’s talk about graphics in text
25
Recent research indicates that 60 percent of graphics in informational texts for 2nd and 3rd graders convey information not available in the written text (Fingeret, 2012).
Comprehension of graphical devices is a stronger predictor of overall comprehension of informational text than several other known predictors, including words read correctly per minute, listening comprehension, cognitive flexibility, attitude toward reading, and individual word reading skill, and is second only to vocabulary knowledge (Roberts & Norman, 2012).
* Let’s study graphics 26
1 Begin by giving students time to examine a graphic.
Ask, "What do you see in this graphic?" 2
"What do you see that makes you say that?“
