Three Level Guide

The Three Level Guide is a comprehension strategy devised by Herber (1978) and developed further by Morris & Stuart-Dore (1984).
Teachers devise statements around a text to focus learners on the relevant parts of a text that will meet the teachers' learning objective.
The three levels are: 
  1. literal - guides learners to focus on relevant information in the text and disregard irrelevant content
  2. interpretive - guides learners to infer meanings from one or more sentences in the text
  3. applied - guides learners to tap into their knowledge beyond the text and consider implications related to the real world
Clear examples of the Three Level Guide are available at MyRead.
