True or False Questions–Comprehension Considerations

Gail is working with a small group of sixth graders. After a brief check to see if each student has a good fit book, Gail launches into a lesson on things they might need to take into consideration when faced with True/False questions. True/False questions carry their own special comprehension challenges. In addition to drawing conclusions from given text, students are often required to rely on background knowledge and inference to answer correctly.

Gail wraps up the lesson by reviewing and giving an assignment that will help the students develop the skills necessary to successfully tackle True/False questions.
