My first day in an American school
started with good news: all
clocks were in Spanish! The bad
news was devastating: I did not
understand anything else. Years
later, I realized that numbers
and many other symbols were in
a "language" that I could
understand …

Getting at the Meaning
How to Help Students Unpack Difficult Text
Constructing meaning during reading means going back and
forth between reading relatively small segments of text and
discussing the ideas and making connections.
Ask students to “construct” meaning instead of
“barking at print.”

“Text structure provides a
conceptual net for keeping
information in mind.”
“Text organization has a profound
effect on comprehension and
memory.”
Extraction of
worthy ideas,
like mining for
gold, requires
searching skills.
CREATIVE NOTETAKING
Copying is copying.
Underlining is underlining.
“Creative note-taking requires extraction and reaction. The
students’ ability to extract and explain core ideas, concepts,
and factual details is revealed in their notes. (All Maps)
The students’ ability to sort and classify these extractions is
central to their comprehension of the texts’ meaning. (Tree
Map)
Their competence at commenting and responding to the notes
is a sign of interaction and ownership of the material.” (The
Frame of Reference)
Organizational Patterns
“In order to remember, the mind
must sort through information and
store what is important and discard
what is not important.
In order to remember the important
parts of text, the mind needs to sort
against the structure of the text.”

Sample Passage
The water is cleaned at the water treatment plant. This cleaning is done in
steps. First, the water is poured into a large tank. Then, it is mixed with a
substance that causes sticky clumps to form. The clumps settle on the
bottom of the tank and the cleaner water moves on. The water still needs
more cleaning. In the second step, water is poured through a layer of
gravel.

toes with very thick toenails. The hippos has nostrils
high up on its muzzle. Each of these parts of the Hippo
enable him to survive in his habitat.
