When you come to three words that are bold and in parenthesis, you will circle the word that makes sense. Make sure that you CIRCLE the word that best fits. 4. Using the example sentence on the board, Say: Look at the example sentence on the board. This is one sentence that would be in an entire reading passage. It says, When it is hot in the BLANK, I like to go swimming. The three words that are bold and in parenthesis are: (summer, winter, can). What word would you circle? Yes, the word that makes the most sense is SUMMER. Read the entire sentence correctly. When it is hot in the summer, I like to go swimming. Model and emphasize that you CIRCLE the correct word, summer. 5. Say: You will have three minutes to read the passage and CIRCLE the correct word for each set inside the parenthesis. Please start at the beginning of the passage and circle the words that make sense. If you finish the first page, turn your paper to page 2 and continue working. Say: Are there any questions? 6. Set a timer for 3 minutes. 7. Say: Please turn your paper over. The title of the passage is The Flying Queen. 8. Say: You may BEGIN. Start the timer. 9. When the timer rings, say: Stop working please. Hold your paper in the air to be collected. Collect all the papers and thank the students for being wonderful test takers. 10. Use the Assessor Copy for scoring: Maze Comprehension Scoring Guidelines For Assessor Use Count each word that is circled correctly as 1 point.
