Leveled Text-Dependent Question Stems - Science
Text-Dependent Questions is another way to say reading comprehension. In the area of science, it is important to think about the key ideas in the text and the desired outcomes of the lesson. This book offers 480 question stems questions that guide students to connect what they are learning to previous knowledge. Question stems in this book cover 12 skill areas understanding scientific concepts, identifying key details, summarizing, using text features, identifying the author's purpose or position, defining science vocabulary, drawing conclusions, analyzing text structures, evaluating scientific arguments and reasoning, developing ideas or processes, comparing and contrasting texts, and making inferences. Each skill area includes an overview, four levels of question stems (K-1, 2-4, 5-8, 9-12), examples, 10 question stems, and an activity page for each level. Question Stems can be used as written or adapt them to meet your needs to promote clarity in a variety of science topics. The pages in this 160-page book may be copied for classroom or family use. ~ Donna
