Evaluative comprehension includes which of the following actions?

  1. Identifying facts

  2. Reading between the lines

  3. Text to self connections

  4. Summarizing main points

The correct answer is: Text to self connections

Evaluative comprehension involves assessing and reflecting on the text, which can include making personal connections to the material. This process allows readers to interpret information based on their own experiences, feelings, and prior knowledge, thereby enhancing their understanding. Making text-to-self connections is a vital aspect of evaluative comprehension because it encourages readers to relate the content to their own life, enabling them to form judgments and develop deeper insights about the themes or messages in the text. The other actions listed, such as identifying facts, reading between the lines, and summarizing main points, primarily focus on understanding the text's surface meanings or key details rather than engaging in a personal evaluative process. These activities are essential for comprehension but do not encompass the evaluative nature of connecting the text to oneself.
