Clues to Comprehension, Grades 3-4
In Clues to Comprehension, Grades 3–4 the mystery items on the posters are presented in the form of a newspaper ad for lost and found items, “help wanted” and ”job wanted” ads, and “for sale” ads.
The teacher lesson pages take you step by step through the following sections:
Use Picture Clues—how to work with the nontext clues provided in the illustrations, encouraging students to focus on the illustration and to use logic and deductive reasoning to support their hypotheses.
Use Text Clues—students form and revise hypotheses as they read and think about each new clue.
Confirm Solutions and Share Information—students share what they know about the subject under discussion.
Build Vocabulary and Concepts—This section presents various types of graphic organizers and guides the teacher to use “think-alouds” to help students organize, interpret, and understand information.
Reproducible graphic organizer templates are provided at the back of the book.
