The document discusses reading comprehension strategies and levels of questioning that can be used in content area classrooms. It introduces Ciardiello's four levels of questioning: memory, convergent, divergent, and evaluative. Each level has its own signal words and cognitive operations based on Bloom's taxonomy, ranging from basic recall to evaluation and judgment. Examples are provided for how teachers can generate questions at each level based on content area textbooks.

Changes were based on 50+ years of consistent history of using Taxonomy for Learning Teaching and Assessing (Bloom’s Taxonomy) The names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms. The word knowledge was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and was replaced with the word remembering instead. Comprehension and synthesis were retitled to understanding and creating respectively, in order to better reflect the nature of the thinking defined in each category. Create took the place of Synthesis and moved to signify a more cognitively complex position on the matrix
