Discuss trends we notice:

Why were there no critical questions on this reading check?

Why were there almost an equal number of literal and inferential questions?

Why do teachers ask literal questions in their work for students?

Why do teachers ask inferential questions? What do the answers show the teachers?

Circle our two (or three?) inferential questions, and let them know you’ll be grading their individual answers to these, along with the literal questions we’d already answered in groups. (I gave them two separate marks — one for literal and one for inferential comprehension.)* See the resources for how students could turn in re-dos.*Suggestion: If students get the literal questions wrong after your class discussion, simply have them answer other literal questions as a separate reading check. There is no need to “punish” them with grades for their behavior (in this case, not paying attention during group work) when the reading check is intended to see what they understand. It is valuable to see who does not have those literal questions correct, but a conversation needs to be had with the students if they are missing those types of questions. Ask students to answer a few new literal questions to see if they truly understand the text.
