CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.K.10
The Standard
Actively engage in group reading activities with purpose and understanding.
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts · Reading Standards for Informational Text
What This Standard Means
Kindergartners need to join shared nonfiction reading with attention and a clear reason for listening. They should look at pictures, follow along, answer simple questions, ask questions, and talk about facts they learned from the text.
Mastery looks like a child staying with the group, using the book to support an answer, and naming one or two real facts after reading. Students often get stuck when they treat nonfiction like story time, guess from pictures only, or repeat a classmate instead of sharing their own thinking.
Ways to Teach It
- Read a big book about animals, give each child a sticky note, and have them mark one page that teaches a new fact.
- Ask, “What did this book teach us that we did not know before?” and record student answers on chart paper.
- After reading two pages, ask each child to point to a picture detail and tell one fact from the page.
- Bring in a school lunch menu, read it together, and have students identify facts like foods, days, and choices.
