WELCOME back for Chapter 2 of Text Dependent Questions! This book, written by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey, has helped guide me in my understanding of a close read. I hope you are feeling it has been worth your time as well.

understanding of what the text says. The students start with the “when” and “where” questions. The students also must differentiate between key details in the text and those facts that are simply interesting (hello…. KINDERGARTEN!!!). This is something we spend time working on in my classroom. Weeding out the weeds and cultivating the sprouts of ideas. I was not surprised to read the importance of collaborative conversations in this chapter either. Within the green pages of this chapter, there was a discussion of the reciprocal relationship between talk, understanding, and writing. I love this quote: ARE YOU READY FOR APRIL?

I asked in our Facebook Book Discussion Group if they wanted me to walk thorough this planning process with a book. They agreed… I grabbed a book as I walked out the door. DISCLAIMER: I am currently in a hotel room with my husband and The Perfect Son. We are on a 12 hour trip to Missouri for a wedding. We had to bring our Labrador, Dexter with us (long story). Anyhow, I forgot my camera, so these images are meh… If you have looked at our Guiding Readers you will know that I am a HUGE fan of Nicola Davies. Every one one of her books always lends themselves to a rich conversation.

ducks. I will mostly focus my questions around the informational text.
YES! PLEASE! Who is telling the story?

What is the book about? Talk about the ways that male ducks and female ducks are different (coloring, sounds, egg laying) Talk about the ways that male ducks and female ducks are the same (blue on their wings, eating, sleeping)
FREE WEBINARS
Talk about the things that ducks eat. Talk about how the ducks’s needs are different in the winter than in the summer. (They need more food in the winter). Talk about where the ducks sleep. Where did the author say they ducks sleep at night? Naturally, these questions can lead into follow up questions and clarifying questions. But I think this would be a good starting point.
YOUR TURN WHAT DOES THE TEXT SAY? What practices do you follow to help ensure your students know what the text says?

Sebrina Burke says July 1 at 7:09 pm Thank you for sharing your planning process with a real text. I love Nicole’s books too! This book gives me validation for many strategies I use in my classroom, along with the aha take aways. The quote you shared is one of my favorites from this chapter. Students need to hear and read great texts. Discussions about the text will help the grow as writers as well as readers. I am hoping that the next chapter “How Does the Text Work?” will really speak to my writing instruction! Sebrina Burke’s Special Kids R EPLY
Martha says July 3 at 7:46 am I am so happy I have found this discussion board. I have been struggling with finding ways to teach this in my classroom. Our county curriculum has us teaching these skills in isolation, e.g. character is taught for two weeks, then setting, etc. It makes more sense to me to use one book for a series of close lessons that is all inclusive. I purchased your reading unit and love it. I started using it last year. Your choice of books engages the children. I have just purchased the book and look forward to getting started! R EPLY
Erica says July 22 at 8:04 am Hi, You mentioned something about watching a video…where can I see that video? Does it come with the book? I just ordered the book and I am so excited! Also, does the book include examples of question stems? R EPLY
Deedee says July 22 at 2:41 pm Yes! In the book you will find QR codes. They will link you to the videos! So, SO good! R EPLY
