This teacher guide focuses on enhancing reading comprehension skills for 4th-grade students, emphasizing the difference between text-based (direct) answers and inferential (implied) answers. Sessions are designed to last 10-15 minutes and involve interactive activities that encourage students to become 'Reading Detectives.' Students learn to identify specific text evidence using highlighters to highlight explicit information and make inferences based on clues within the text. The guide includes various activities, such as analyzing texts, participating in group discussions, and connecting reading strategies to real-world applications like court cases and scientific research. Moreover, it outlines key vocabulary terms, understanding question types, and provides guided practice and exit tickets to assess students’ mastery of the concepts.
