Quotation Cafe offers a selection of writing prompts based on nonfiction texts or books. These prompts require text-dependent responses, encouraging students to think inferentially and read carefully. Students have to read the text closely and use inferential thinking to determine the answer. This resource, best used for third through fifth graders, is perfect for independent reading exercises.

These are called text dependent questions and they will help improve your reading comprehension skills. To answer them, you'll need to refer back to the text and think carefully about what you've read, using your judgment to determine the answer. So next time you're reading independently, use the Text Dependent Questions for Independent Reading. Give it a try and experience the sense of discovery when you successfully answer these questions, enhancing your reading experience!
