In order to assess students' comprehension, the teacher:

• Begins with questions on a knowledge and comprehension level, and
• Moves toward higher order thinking questions involving analysis and evaluation.

The teacher, Ms. Neumann, summarizes the content and the vocabulary in the book by asking (in guided fashion) questions. She asks questions about the:

• Characters,
• Kind of writing (in this case, fantasy),
• Setting, and
• Genre.

Don't forget the L = What I have Learned, on the KWL chart created prior to reading (see Pre-reading guidance). An emphasis on "What I have Learned," may clear up misunderstandings and misconceptions about the story which might have shown up in the K stage.
