ComprehensionWHAT
it is…
• Identifying the plot, characters, and themes of the text.
• Predicting and identifying “turning moments” of the text.
• Summarizing and paraphrasing with purpose.

…reading the lines because we are looking for information which is included in the text.
ComprehensionWHY

Comprehension skills help us build a foundation upon which we can build
meaning!

Synthesis
InterpretationWHAT
it is…
• Identify problems, gaps, and questions in the text
• Analyze the text for clues to help explain the problems, gaps, and questions in a text
• Use context to connect analytical explanations to a “bigger picture”
…reading between the lines.
When we interpret, we “fill gaps” and blend what is said in the story + what is implied
Interpretationis like…
New Meaning
InterpretationWHY
it is important…
• Interpretation skills let us do things with the text beyond what is written on the page!
• Interpretation allows us to take what the text says + what the text does not say +our own understanding to make new meaning.
To summarize our review…
What it isIdentifying gaps and
questions in the text and analyzing them
to create new meaning
Why it is important

a text
What it is like…

Comprehension Check
Are the following questions
examples of
Comprehension OR Interpretation?
Use your notes for help.
• What is this story about?
• What is the setting of this story?
• When I apply my own background knowledge to the gaps in the text, what new meaning do I create?
• From what point of view is this story told?
• Is this a main detail of the text?
• What problems do I notice within the text?
Comprehension! Why?

Traits of Reading Part 2
GOAL:We will define SYNTHESIS and see
what it looks like for a reader.
We will achieve this goal using a note-taking organizer.
SYNTHESISReading Beyond the Lines
Synthesis
InterpretationReading Between
the Lines
ComprehensionReading the Lines
Synthesis is integrating the text, our background knowledge, and other ideas to
create something new, something greater than the sum of its part
• Comparing and contrasting information from multiple sources (not just one!)
• Outline important information in the text• Determine cause and effect
SynthesisWHAT
it is…
• Order information to explain the text’s process or chronology
• Compare and Contrast • Recognize and Describe cause-and-effect
relationships• Integrate personal experience, background
knowledge, and/or content-area knowledge with the text
• Hypothesize and seek multiple sources to develop an answer whose whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
SynthesisWHAT
it is…
1. Assemble the ingredients
2. Combine them in a bowl
3. Bake the cake mix at an appropriate temperature for an appropriate amount of time
4. Remove when cake is done baking!
Synthesis is like…Making a Cake!

Reading Beyond the Lines
Synthesis is integrating the text, our own experience, and other ideas to create something
new.
When we synthesize, we create something new that is greater than the sum of its individual parts

• Compare and Contrast this character’s problems with the problems you have encountered in your own life.
• Order the events in a recognizable order.• Compare the theme from this story with a

hypothesize on what causes this type of situation to occur.
