# Match the Comprehension Strategies

When readers encounter a text, they draw on a toolkit of strategies to understand what they are reading. Students learn to use predicting, inferring, making connections, summarizing, synthesizing, and evaluating as comprehension strategies to understand and interpret complex texts([Details](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/45471)). These strategies help readers notice when meaning breaks down, monitor their own thinking, and build interpretations supported by evidence. This game asks you to match eight key comprehension-related terms with their definitions, strengthening your ability to name and use these strategies independently.

## How to play

- The left column lists 8 terms (A to H); the right column lists 8 definitions or examples numbered 1 to 8.
- Write the number that matches each letter. Each number is used once.
- Check your answers against the answer key.

## Match the pairs

| Column A | | Column B |
|:---|:---:|:---|
| **A.** infer | ____ | **1.** An attitude or belief influenced by culture, experience, and interest |
| **B.** synthesizing | ____ | **2.** A comprehension strategy that blends information into one overall understanding |
| **C.** evaluating | ____ | **3.** Comprehension strategy where readers judge a text using textual evidence |
| **D.** monitor | ____ | **4.** Identifying main ideas and using supporting evidence to shorten a text |
| **E.** summarizing | ____ | **5.** Ideas or information that are stated openly rather than hinted at |
| **F.** explicit | ____ | **6.** Making a judgment based on implicit information rather than explicit statements |
| **G.** implicit | ____ | **7.** Ideas or information in a text that must be inferred |
| **H.** perspective | ____ | **8.** Noticing when comprehension falters and applying skills to make sense of a text |

## Answer key

- **A** matches **6** (infer: Making a judgment based on implicit information rather than explicit statements)
- **B** matches **2** (synthesizing: A comprehension strategy that blends information into one overall understanding)
- **C** matches **3** (evaluating: Comprehension strategy where readers judge a text using textual evidence)
- **D** matches **8** (monitor: Noticing when comprehension falters and applying skills to make sense of a text)
- **E** matches **4** (summarizing: Identifying main ideas and using supporting evidence to shorten a text)
- **F** matches **5** (explicit: Ideas or information that are stated openly rather than hinted at)
- **G** matches **7** (implicit: Ideas or information in a text that must be inferred)
- **H** matches **1** (perspective: An attitude or belief influenced by culture, experience, and interest)
