1. Leveled Questions

2. Level One Read the lines
A level one question is a literal question. You can put your finger on the answer in the text.
Example: What are Cinderella’s shoes made out of?

3. Level Two Read between the lines
A level two question requires the reader to draw an inference or read between the lines in order to find the answer.
Example: Why don’t Cinderella’s step sisters like her?

4. Level Three Read beyond the lines
A level three question is a thematic question that applies to real life.
Example: What does it mean to live happily ever after?
You answer with both a point from the text and a point from real life.
