Making the Trip More Meaningful: Deeper Comprehension
The Next Chapter
Session 9
Barb Mick - COOR ISD
Jackie Fry - COP ESDSlide2
Time for a roadmap check…
We’ve introduced
assessment
, thought about our literacy histories and those of our students, looked at the developmental progression of readers and how to determine the level of our students, and taken a deeper look at comprehension. We looked at writing from a number of angles, and began to practice assessing our students’ writing. We’ve looked more closely at formative assessment and goal setting, and practiced using tools to score our students’ writing and confer with individual writers. We’ve been down the path of oral language and talked about talk as the foundation of comprehension. We looked more closely at phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling, and vocabulary and examined the Digging Deeper ToolsTonight we will complete our journey with yet another look at comprehension through the continuum: the earliest acquisition of comprehension to the deepest levels of understanding. Slide3
Your Turn…Appoint a time-keeper at your table. (You will have 15 minutes total for discussion, so make sure everyone gets a chance to share.)
Talk in your group about the results of your Spelling Inventory. Talk about ideas for teaching “what’s next” for your case study students. Talk about how you think you might manage the different spelling levels in your classroom.
Show the group the other assessment you chose to use and discuss why you chose that particular one. What did you learn from it?Slide4
Goals for Session 9Understand the connection between the stages of literacy.
Learn (or review) how to use the
Sulzby
Storybook Classification Scheme.Understand the importance of retelling in comprehension assessment, and learn to use assessments that inform our instruction.Understand deep comprehension and learn to use the Profundity Scale for Narrative and Expository for assessment. Slide5
A Continuum of ComprehensionSlide6
Reading ConventionallyThree inseparable components during early elementary:
Comprehension
Letter-Sound Relationships (Alphabetic Principle)
FluencySlide7
Reading EmergentlyThe Reading (and Writing) Concepts and Behaviors that Precede and Develop into Conventional Literacy
(
Sulzby
, 1996)Three Aspects that Develop Emergently and Come Together in Conventional Reading:Comprehension/UnderstandingLetter-Sound Knowledge (AP)Concept of WordWhen a child begins to read conventionally, he or she uses all three aspects FLEXIBLY and in a COORDINATED way in order to interpret text.Slide8
The Sulzby Classification Scheme of Emergent Storybook Reading
Comprehension entails linking what is being learned to what is already known.
It is the process of constructing meaning through the dynamic interaction between a reader’s existing knowledge, the information suggested by the written language, and the context of a situation in which the learning is taking place.
WHAT: An assessment measuring the rudimentary forms of written language comprehension.WHY: Allows us to understand how literacy is developing, up to conventional reading.WHEN: Preschool and KindergartenSlide9
A Pre-Reading Activity for Non-fiction(an alternative to K-W-L)

Questions you could ask at this point to “score” their work:Do you have 5 sentences?
Did you use all the words and phrases?
Are they all nonfiction?
Each question receives a or a +, or do again.Slide11
Remember…RIGOR is the energy and attention you bring to the text. Until someone wants to know, it doesn’t matter.
This activity builds relevance.
Rigor without relevance is JUST HARD!Slide12
RetellingDefinition:
A retelling is an oral or written recount of a text in a child’s own words.
It is an assessment and an instructional strategy that provides information on comprehension, sense of story, and oral language.Slide13
RationaleRetelling builds comprehension skills in studentsProvides teachers with insights on how students organize and process text
Shows how students interpret and comprehend text
A retelling can reveal a particular element that confuses or interferes with a child’s comprehensionSlide14
Retellings can enhance both comprehension and oral reading proficiencyChildren naturally love to share stories or information they have read or heardSlide15
Remember the GRR…Slide16
Webb’s Depth of KnowledgeLevel 1: Recall; Level 2: Skill/Concept; Level 3: Strategic Thinking; Level 4: Extend ThinkingSlide17
Profundity a theoretical construct (developed by Sargent,
Huus
and Anderson- 1970
)Slide18
Two Profundity Scales

Steps to Deeper Understanding forEXPOSITORY TextSlide21
Why bother with Profundity?
It is an explicit series of strategies to take students from simple to abstract.
It starts by reducing complicated things to simple principles.
It allows for the realization that 2 different ideas can share attributes.It transforms thinking into themes and universal truths.Slide22
Your AssignmentDo at least one lesson from the Profundity Scale heuristic for both Narrative text and Expository text.
Assess your case study students’ depth of comprehension using the Narrative Profundity Scale and the Expository Profundity Scale.
Fill out the
TNC Student Summary Data and Analysis packet for ONE of your case study students. Bring this, along with the artifacts you have been collecting throughout the course, to our final session. Be ready to share with colleagues.Bring all of your Reflections Sheets from the previous sessions.Slide23
