Literacy: non-fiction comprehension: Rivers

 We looked through our answers to the non-fiction comprehension about Rivers.  Although non-fiction comprehension is usually easier than fiction, we must still be careful to include all the information we need in our answers.  We must go back to the text after reading each question, and not simply try to answer from memory.

It is good to avoid copying blocks of text if we can.  Use your own words to prove that you have understood what you have read.  Understanding is the main purpose of comprehension.  The word comprehension means understanding.  Question 10 asks you to think for yourself, using evidence from the text.  Read carefully and think clearly.
