Good readers are both purposeful and active.”

What do the TEKS say?

• TEKS K.1A, 1.1A, 2.1A, 3.1A: determine the purpose(s) for listening such as to get information, to solve problems, and to enjoy and appreciate

• TEKS K.9B, 1.12B, 2.9B, 3.9B: establish purposes for reading or listening such as to be informed, to follow directions, and to be entertained

• TEKS 1.10, 2.7, 3.7: student reads widely for different purposes in varied sources

• TEKS… develop an extensive vocabulary, use a variety of comprehension strategies, respond to various texts, recognize characteristics of texts, generate questions and conduct research

TAKS Stems That Link to Purpose

Spanish TAKS Stems• ¿Cuál es el propósito del

autor al escribir el artículo?• … el lector puede concluir

que …• (el personaje) piensa que …• ¿Qué idea de la historia

muestra que …?• ¿De que trata principalmente

el parrafo ______?

English TAKS Stems• Why did the author probably

write this?• What is the author trying to

tell you?• What is the author’s

purpose?• This article is mostly about …• What does (character) learn?• What do two stories have in

common and how are they different?

3 Types of “Purpose” to Consider

Author’s purpose• What is the author trying to say?

• Why did the author write this piece?

Reader’s purpose• Why are you reading this?

• What do you want to find out?

Instructional purpose• How will you teach students to comprehend better?

• What cognitive strategy(ies) are you teaching/reinforcing?

• How will you deepen and extend comprehension?

What purpose might the author have for writing each of these texts?

What purpose might you have for

reading each of these texts?

Good Readers Set a Purpose for Reading

Hey Juan, what are you

reading today?

I’m reading a comic book

about Superman.

Why did you choose that to read today?

I really like Superman. I

think he’s awesome.Great! So what’s

your purpose for reading … what are you hoping

to find out?

I want to know if Superman

will be able to save Lois from

Lex Luthor.

After we have modeled

… a lot…our students

will be able to have

these kinds of

conversations about

setting a purpose for

their own reading.

Setting Purposes for Reading

Thoughtful “questions appear to be effective for improving learning from reading because they:

• give students a purpose for reading;

• focus students’ attention on what they are to learn;

• help students to think actively as they read;

• encourage students to monitor their comprehension; and

•help students to review content and relate what they have learned to what they already know” (CIERA, 2001).

Comprehension Purpose Questions

“As readers read …, they are frequently overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. Modeling how we read with a question in mind is one way to help readers cut through the dense text and zero in on important information.”

(Harvey & Goudvis, 2007)

Tips and Tricks

• Set a comprehension purpose question for every reading

• Set a different CPQ each time you read the text

• Link the CPQ to the strategy you are focusing on

• Choose a question that will focus attention throughout the reading

• Post the CPQ for all to see and refer back to

• Check and discuss after reading

CPQs : Going From Good to Great!

A good CPQ:• Is answered in the

text either directly or indirectly

• Involves some student thinking

• Will focus comprehension

• Relates to student learning

A great CPQ:• Cannot be completely

answered until students have read the entire text

• Involves higher order thinking, inferences, and text evidence

• Will deepen and extend comprehension

• Relates to the comprehension strategy currently being taught

• Look at your list of questions (brainstormed and those from the T.E.).

• Circle three questions that you believe would make “great” CPQs.

• Share your three CPQs with a partner and use Handout #4 to be sure they fit the criteria for “great” CPQs.

First Reading? Second Reading? Third Reading?

• First reading: Focus on the story as a whole (Ex: How does Baby feel about the rain?)

• Second reading: Deepens understanding

(Ex: Why does Baby change her mind about the rain?)

• Third reading and beyond: Deepens and extends understanding, may involve inferences (Ex: What many things does Grampa do to make Baby feel better?)
