LEVELED TEXT-DEPENDENT QUESTION STEMS

The question stems in this book cover several skills, including understanding people, places, events, and concepts; identifying key details and facts; summarizing positions; interpreting content; analyzing change and continuity; and comparing and contrasting. Each of the 12 sections includes ten question stems differentiated to four complexity levels (K–1, 2–4, 5–8, and 9–12), along with a chart that shows the types of stems used and provides corresponding text examples.
