What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read grade-level nonfiction with help from a teacher or partner. They use print, pictures, headings, and prompts to make sense of the information.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students read a grade-level informational passage aloud or quietly with occasional teacher support. They use headings, pictures, and word-solving strategies to explain the topic and key facts.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may guess from pictures instead of checking the printed words. They may skip headings and captions, or stop when they meet one unfamiliar word.
How to Assess It
- Give each student a short grade-level page about an animal. Ask the student to read it with prompts, then name the topic and one fact.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a short animal article, sticky notes, and pencils to mark headings, captions, unfamiliar words, and two facts.
After shared reading, ask, "Which text feature helped you most, and what did it help you understand?"
Play Prompt Partner, where students draw cards such as reread, check the picture, or break the word into parts while reading.
Read a simple weather report, then have students choose suitable clothing and point to two details that support their choice.
