Sentence-Phrase-Word Protocol

A reading strategy where group members read the text silently selecting a meaningful sentence that captures a core idea; a moving, engaging or provoking phrase; and a powerful word or one that captures attention.  Discuss and record group choices. Looking at the groups’ choices of words, phrases, and sentences, reflect on the conversation by identifying emerging themes, implications and/or aspects of the text not yet captured.
