Using THIEVES to Understand Nonfiction Text Created by Kimberly Church, Literacy Coach, Broken Arrow Public Schools
THIEVESis an acronym that can help students identify important information to better understand the meaning of nonfiction text.
T H I E V E S Title Looking at the title, ask yourself: What do I already know about about this topic? What does this topic have to do with the preceding chapter? Does the title express a point of view? What do I think I will be reading about?
T H I E V E S Headings Looking at the headings, ask yourself: What does this heading tell me I will be reading about? What is the topic of the paragraph beneath it? How can I turn this heading into a question that is likely to be answered in the text?
Introduction Looking at the introduction, ask yourself: Is there an opening paragraph, perhaps italicized or bolded? Does the first paragraph introduce the chapter? What does the introduction tell me I will be reading about? Do I know anything about this topic already? T H I E V E S
T H I E V E S Every FIRST sentence in a paragraph. Read every first sentence, and ask yourself: Based on the first sentence in each paragraph, what do I think this chapter is going to be about?
Visuals and Vocabulary Looking at the visuals and vocabulary: What can I learn from the captions and the photos, drawings, maps, charts, graphs? Is there a list of vocabulary terms or are there any words highlighted in the text? Can I tell them meanings of the boldfaced words from the words around them? T H I E V E S
End-of-chapter questions After reading the end-of-chapter questions: What do the questions ask? What information do they earmark as important? What information do I learn from the questions?
