This reading comprehension lesson focuses on making generalizations from a text. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question identifying the topic. Then, they identify common traits or features in the text that may lead to a generalization about the topic. Finally, they make a generalization and then justify it. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
