Objective
Students will answer text-dependent questions to clarify the text and illustrations.
- Oral Language Level 1: Students will respond to receptive language tasks (e.g., follow a direction, act out an action verb or expression, or respond to vocabulary).
- Oral Language Level 2: Students will answer literal WH questions (who, what, where, when, how) in complete sentences based on the text and illustrations.
- Oral Language Level 3: Students will answer inferential questions based on what they can infer from the text and illustrations and WHY questions to express cause-and-effect relationships.
Teacher Tips
Reread each page of the text and choose one of the three Oral Language Levels to ask questions that align with the language proficiency of individual students. In a group learning experience, students at beginning Oral Language Levels can benefit from students at higher Oral Language Levels.
