What is Literal Comprehension?
Itrefers clearly to the understanding of facts
or ideas extracted from the explicit or stated information given in the text or
the answer itself comes directly from a textbook with fixed meaning.
The literal comprehension skills are directed at the actual words written by the author. They are:
Selecting the topic sentence of a paragraph Identifying the main idea of a passage Identifying the supporting detail of a passage Determining the meaning of words by conte
Even though this is the lowest level, I am not suggesting it isn't important. It is. Understanding literal meaning is the first step toward a deeper meaning. Also, for many of our students, tests are or will be very important. Most comprehension tests focus on literal comprehension because it is the easiest to test. That doesn't, however, mean we are locked into the old "read and regurgitate" pattern of teacher questioning.
