Key and Interpretation Guidelines: Those Winter Sundays
This question asks the reader to make an inference based on evidence in the text of the father’s caring behavior; see lines 5, 7, 11, 12. Understanding the meaning of the word “austere” as strict or stern also comes into play.
Frustration level The discrepancy (more than 25%) between what the material demands and what the student brings is great. The material is too difficult for the student to handle even with directed/intentional teaching. (less than approximately 75% comprehension). It is important when assessing reading comprehension to analyze the kinds of questions missed: factual recognition, factual recall, justifying inferences, making inferences and justifying and making inferences. Factual comprehension provides a foundational base for understanding text; inferential comprehension is important in higher order and critical thinking. If students have trouble recalling answers to factual questions, ask them to find the answer in the text (factual recognition). If students are missing most or all inferential questions, instruction in this area is critical!
