Editor's Notes
- #3 On a literal level, this simply means what it says - that the large sheets of ice, known as polar ice caps, are quickly melting. We can infer that this is because of global warming. Applied comprehension comes into play when figuring out the ultimate message or purpose behind the sentence!
- #5 ccurs at the surface level when a reader/viewer acknowledges what they can see and hear. The details are stated and clear for anyone to identify.
- #7 equires the reader/viewer to draw on their prior knowledge of a topic and identify relevant text clues (words, images, sounds) to make an inference. The next step up from this is inferential comprehension, where children will understand and explore the meanings behind what has been written. They will infer meaning from the text, and explore less literal interpretations of what they read.
- #8 It involves gaining knowledge and insights that can be directly applied to specific situations or tasks. pplied comprehension is the final level. Here, children look at what the author is trying to say, and the purpose behind what they’ve written. This is an important skill as it requires a good level not only of understanding, but of analytical thought, in order to deduce the importance of a text and the purpose behind it.
- #9 Literally, in this text we understand that a character called Danny has heard a voice that he wasn’t expecting. From this, we can infer that he isn’t alone, like he thinks he is. But what does the author mean when they write this?
