Reading/Comprehension Skills. Students use a flexible range of metacognitive reading skills in both assigned and independent reading to understand an author’s message. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts as they become self-directed, critical readers. The student is expected to:
- (A) establish purposes for reading selected textsbased upon own or others’ desired outcometo enhance comprehension;
- (B) ask literal, interpretive, evaluative, anduniversal questions of text;
- (C) reflect on understanding to monitorcomprehension (e.g., summarizing andsynthesizing; making textual, personal, andworld connections; creating sensory images);
- (D) make complex inferences about text and usetextual evidence to support understanding;
- (E) summarize, paraphrase, and synthesize textsin ways that maintain meaning and logicalorder within a text and across texts; and
- (F) make intertextual links among and acrosstexts, including other media (e.g., film, play),and provide textual evidence.
