 K Gist: Students describe how two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information relate to one another.

They consider:

 How does the title help me understand what the text is about?

 Which pieces of information explain the title?

 How is the text organized? Do the sections or chapters follow in a helpful order?

 How do the illustrations and the words work together to help me understand the main topic?

 1 Gist: Students describe how two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information relate to one another.

They consider:

 What does the title tell me about the topic? How about the headings?

 How is the text organized? Do the sections or chapters follow in a logical order?

 How does the information in each section relate to the section title and the main topic as a whole?

 How do the illustrations, the text features, and the words work together to help me understand the main topic?

 2 Gist: Students describe the connection between historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures.

They consider:

 Is the author’s purpose to describe people, events, and concepts; to give steps in a process; or to describe how to do something?

 How do the illustrations, the text features, and the words work together to help me understand the main topic?

 When I “add up” the section headings, what do I learn? How do they build on one another to give information about the main topic?

Note: Although the questions listed above are too difficult for most young students to internalize and apply on their own, we share them to give teachers a detailed sense of what their students should be striving toward as learners. K–2 students may not be able to ask these questions of themselves independently, but teachers can use them as a jumping-off point for lesson content and as prompts and reminders to share with students. Over time and with instruction, students will be able to pose these questions on their own.
