Evaluative comprehension is often referred to as ‘beyond the text’ and includes ‘big picture’ comprehension.

For example: How do you think someone would feel about playing alone like Billy? Your answer might be that people like being alone sometimes, especially if they are trying to accomplish something on their own. 

    Here are examples of the type of information that could be identified as evaluative meaning:

    • The author’s purpose for writing the story
    • Comparing the text to a real-life situation
    • What the text is saying about human characteristics
    • Determining if you agree with the author’s conclusion
