Lectura

3 Lee esta oración del párrafo 22 de “El vagabundo sabio”.

Al escuchar esas palabras, la señora del mesón sintió que le quitaron un peso de encima.

El lenguaje que se utiliza en esta oración ayuda al lector a entender que la señora —

* A siente alegría por la decisión que tomó el juez

B está preocupada por lo que le pueda pasar a Diego

C tiene miedo de que se pierda el dinero

D está conforme porque ya no tiene que cuidar el dinero


Further Explanation

En este ítem, los estudiantes utilizan la evidencia textual para hacer la inferencia de que la expresión “le quitaron un peso de encima” significa que ya no se tiene que preocupar.

Readers must be able to make connections within and beyond a text to be able to come to conclusions about information or ideas not explicitly stated in the text. Students should use context presented in the text, prior knowledge or experience, text features, and/or other comprehension tools to make reasonable, logical assumptions about the intended meaning of a text. For example, a student reading an informational text about the end of the cattle boom in Texas could reasonably infer from a graph showing the sudden decline of the cattle population that some unexpected event, such as disease or bad weather, played a role in the end of the cattle boom.
Students should be able to consider the context presented in the text, their prior knowledge or experience, text features, and/or other comprehension tools to make reasonable, logical assumptions about the intended meaning in a text. Evidence that corroborates understanding can be any relevant details, facts, or information that helps students understand what they are reading.

Summary: The value of using children's literature in the science classroom is examined. The use of literary strategies like questioning for comprehension and inference are transferable skills that are also important in science instruction. The author's provide examples of good choices in children's literature for science instruction and guidance to teachers for a successful implementation.
