Reading Strategies for the CAHSEE There are five distinct types of questions on the CAHSEE: Right There (Covered last week) In Other Words…(Cover today) Up Here! (Cover today) What’s the BIG Idea Read All!

In Other Words In Other Words is a paraphrasing strategy that will help you break down a question in your own words. Not every question is written in “Right There” format. Tend to focus on an idea, rather than a detail or fact The answer will be stated in different words than those used in the text.

Strategies for “In Other Words” Skim and scan Read what you need: about 3-5 lines before and 3-5 lines after the citation to make sure you understand the context. Look for an answer choice in which the idea is rephrased

Example(Pair Share) “Pro and Con on Vitamin Supplements”- As appealing as they are made to sound, nutritional supplements are a danger in disguise. If you’re looking for good health, don’t look on the supplement shelves of your supplement. Look in the produce section instead. Turn to a partner and discuss what you think the BIG idea is?

What’s the BIG idea? Q-Instead of depending heavily on vitamin supplements, the author of the second article encourages readers to- Eat fruits and vegetables Begin an exercise program Skip meals when necessary Limit the intake of protein Take Physical Education w/Mr. Reyes

Up Here Knowledge-Based-tests what you already know Many of these questions only have one answer choice that makes sense. No need to go back to the text All the info you need is contained in the question and answer choices Take time to think about it!!!!

What Do The Questions Look Like? Which of the following is an example of..? What is the meaning of the phrase____ in this sentence? Which sentence from the passage supports the idea that..?

Question (Pair Share) What did the three previous examples have in common?

Practice Example A. The sun was as red as a rose. Which of the following phrases from the passage is an example of a simile? A. The sun was as red as a rose. B. The moon shined above. C. The whoosh of the leaves was a song. The wind whirled willows withered in the night.

Answer + Rationale (Pair Share) Why won’t going back to read the passage help you to answer the question? You must know what a simile is and be able to recognize one when you see it. (Note: A simile is a comparison using the words “like” or “as”)

Chunking & Annotating Chunking is exactly what it sounds like. Break down a tough word, sentence, or paragraph into easier-to-read chunks. Chunk in a way that is clear to you by circling pieces of text or using dashes (/) to separate text Food for thought: You wouldn’t eat a whole cake at once, so why try to digest an entire text at once?
