,-identifying details such as key words, phrases or sentences that explicitly state

characters, times or places.
Inferential - Readers use information explicitly stated in the passage to determine
what is not stated. Readers derive meaning by
-identifying implicit relationships (relationships not directly stated) such as cause
and effect, sequence-time relationships, comparisons, classifications and
generalizations.
-predicting probable future outcomes or actions.
Evaluative - In evaluative comprehension readers analyze and make judgments
about what they read. At this level, readers use evidence from the text to reach

words but the letters are strung together randomly. The letters in
precommunicative spelling do not correspond to sounds. Examples: OPSPS =
eagle; RTAT = eighty.
SEMIPHONETIC SPELLERS - ....ANSWER ...-know that letters represent
sounds.They perceive and represent reliable sounds with letters in a type of
telegraphic writing. Spellings are often abbreviated representing initial and / or
final sound. Examples: E = eagle; a = eighty.
PHONETIC SPELLERS - ....ANSWER ...-spell words like they sound.The
speller perceives and represents all of the phonemes in a word, though spellings
may be unconventional. Examples: EGL = eagle; ATE = eighty.
TRANSITIONAL SPELLERS - ....ANSWER ...-think about how words
appearr visually;a visual memory of spelling patterns is apparent. Spellings exhibit
conventions of English orthography like vowels in every syllable, e-marker and
vowel digraph patterns, correctly spelled inflectional endings, and frequent English
letter sequences. Examples: EGIL = eagle; EIGHTEE = eighty.
CONVENTIONAL SPELLERS - ....ANSWER ...-develop over years of
word study and writing. Correct spelling can be categorized by instruction levels.
For example, correct spelling for a corpus. . . words that can be spelled by the
