What is Barrett's Taxonomy?
Barrett’s taxonomy is a framework used to classify levels of reading comprehension. It has five
levels, from simplest to most complex:
, 1. Literal comprehension
2. Reorganization
3. Inference
4. Evaluation
5. Appreciation
✅ Literal Comprehension (Level 1):
This level involves recalling facts or details that are directly stated in the text. It's about "what
the text says" — no interpretation or deeper thinking needed.
🧠 Example – "Name five things":
Let’s say you read a passage about animals and it lists: lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and
rhinos. Then you’re asked:
“Name five animals mentioned in the passage.”
You’re just pulling information directly from the text. You don’t need to infer, analyze, or
evaluate — you just recognize and recall what was said.
❌ Why not the other options?
Inference: Requires reading between the lines — not needed here.
Reorganization: Involves summarizing or grouping ideas — not what you’re doing.
Evaluation: Requires judging or critiquing — not relevant here.
Appreciation: Involves emotional or aesthetic response — not needed to name things.
