Overview:

There are three levels of comprehension when engaging in active reading. Leveled reading is a way to comprehend, interpret, and apply difficult texts by working at the literal, interpretive, and applied levels. Leveled reading helps readers to go beyond the surface of a text in a structured, step-by-step way. 

This document will explain the three levels of comprehension: literal, interpretative, and application. In addition, it will describe tasks that students can complete to address each level of comprehension, and it includes sentence stems teachers can use to create questions to address each level.
