 Abstraction: Note significant details and textual evidence

Detail- an individual feature, fact, or item

Significant - sufficiently great or important to be worthy of
attention; noteworthy
Note – notice or pay particular attention to (something)
Noting details become the foundation of higher-level reading
skills – inference, drawing conclusions, predicting outcomes,
differentiating facts from opinions, sequencing, etc.
• Textual evidence is support for your analysis that comes directly from
the text itself. When you analyze a text, you want your readers to know
what the author actually says rather than merely your interpretation of
the author's ideas. This means that you quote, paraphrase, and/or
summarize the author's words to support your points.

• In a quotation, you repeat an author's idea word for word and surround
it by quotation marks.
• In a paraphrase, you rewrite the author's idea in your own words,
keeping your rewrite about the same length as the original.
• In a summary, you condense the author's idea in your own words.
 Key Idea:
• Visualizing is a strategy where students
picture what is happening in a text. ... When
students visualize, it brings the text to life,
like imagining a movie of the story. It is
important that students visualize all the
senses of the characters to connect to the text
(Surbur, 2015).
• This refers to our ability to create pictures in
our heads based on text we read or words we
hear. It is one of many skills that makes
reading comprehension possible. This method
is an ideal strategy to teach to young students
who are having trouble reading.
 Key Idea :

The Directed Reading Thinking Activity

(DRTA) is a comprehension strategy that guides
students in asking questions about a text,
making predictions, and then reading to confirm
or refute their predictions. The DRTA process
encourages students to be active and thoughtful
readers, enhancing their comprehension.
