Understanding the Three Levels of Thinking in Reading Comprehension Part 1

In this video, educators are introduced to the three levels of thinking required for reading comprehension: text-based, inferential, and critical thinking. Drawing on Mary and Anthony Applegate’s research on thoughtful literacy, this session explains how different comprehension questions require different types of thinking—and why student errors often reflect thinking-level breakdowns rather than lack of effort. Participants will learn how each level of thinking functions, how the levels build on one another, and why recognizing these distinctions is essential for effective comprehension instruction and assessment analysis across grade levels. This video is part of a professional learning series focused on diagnosing comprehension challenges and using data to guide instructional decision-making.
