In the Story: Right There – The answer is in the text and is generally easy to find. The words used to form the question and those
needed to answer it are right there in the same sentence.

In the Story: Think and Search – The answer is in the text, but you may need to look in several places to construct it. Words for the
question and words for the answer are not in the same sentence.

In my Head: Author and Me – The answer is not in the text. You need to combine what you already know with what the author tells
you in order to come up with the answer.

In my Head: On my Own – The answer is not in the text; you could even answer the question without reading the text. You
need
to use your own background knowledge, thinking skills, experiences, and reading strategies to come up with the answer.
