-The types of questions

Practice makes perfect…but get help if you’re really struggling!

The Standard Approach: Read the passage the full way through and then answer the questions

Seek and Destroy Method: Don’t read the full passage. Read a question and skim the passage until you find the answer. Repeat.
-Good if you’re running out of time
-Won’t work for all questions, but can be very effective

General Strategies and Tips for Approaching Passages:
1. Try to understand the story and don’t worry about the remembering the details!
2. Look back at the passage as much as you need to to get the right answer.
3. Try not to spend too much time on any one question
4. Some students like to use the next button to skim the questions first before they read the passages
5. Always guess, never leave anything blank!

Remember: Focus on the S.C.C.T - Setting, characters, conflict, and theme

-It can be hard to take in all of the information at once while reading a fiction passage.

-By focusing on these four things as you read, it’ll help you better understand the information by processing it in smaller, more manageable chunks.

Figure out the setting: Where the story takes place and when (year, month, time of day, etc.). It might be given to you right away, early on in the passage, or later on in the passage. The year or time period might not always be given to you. If there are lots of old words being used, you can usually guess the story is old.

The setting will often change throughout the story

Having trouble keeping track of the characters is a major reason test-takers struggle with reading comprehension!

For each character that’s introduced, note the following:
-Age
-Where the person’s from
-Relationship to other characters
-Relative, friend, acquaintance, enemy, etc.
-Good, bad, neutral?
-Any unique description
-What the person is like

You probably won’t have time to write all of this out on the test! But I recommend doing this while practicing until you can do it in your head.

Inferences: Educated guesses based on your own experience and the information in the story

What is the theme?
-The theme is the message that the writer wants to communicate to the reader.
-Usually a general statement about life
-Can be stated directly or inferred

Practice Method: Read a short story
1. As you read, write/type the setting. Note any changes in the setting
2. Write/type each character that’s introduced, and list all given information. 3. Suggested things to note are:
Age, hometown, relationship to other characters, good/bad/neutral, anything unique, etc.
4. Write down the conflict in the story and how it’s resolved at the end

→ After you do this with 2 or 3 stories and you should start to internalize this process.

Other Types of Questions About Fiction Stories:
Tip: Focus on the setting, characters, conflict, and theme as you read, and the rest will fall into place much more easily!

1. Select the correct order of events in a passage questions
Focus on what’s happening as you read
Check the passage
Write bullet points down as you read

2. Questions asking: Which adjectives best describe a character?

-Adjectives are words used to describe nouns
Smooth, soft, rough, etc.

-Pay close attention to who the characters are in the story, interactions with other characters, and what they do.

3. Point of view
-First person: I walked up the stairs.
-Third person: Parker walked up the stairs.
