Comprehension Purpose Question (CPQ)
A CPQ is a question that is given to students prior to reading a selection. A CPQ gives the student a purpose or reason why he/she is reading the text. A CPQ is NOT a yes/no or brief detail or summary type question. A great CPQ is a question that would make a student have to read the whole story to figure out the response. Each time students read text, the CPQ should deepen their understanding. |
Think-Turn-Talk Strategy
Why do you use it? When asking students questions, giving them a 5-8 second think time will produce better responses from students. Also, when students talk with each other, it is less intimidating compared to calling them out one at a time. TTT is used strategically at certain stopping points in selected text. When doing this, students get to communicate their thoughts and teachers can have an opportunity to monitor their thinking to provide corrective feedback. |
Think aloud
What is a "think aloud"? A think aloud is when a teacher models her strategy out loud. A teacher verbally states their thinking, reasoning, and models how they thought of solutions, connections, or experiences while reading. This will help the student identify when and how to use a thinking strategy. |
