What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students tell what an informational text is mostly about. They identify two or more facts or details that support that topic.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student names the topic in a word or short phrase. The student gives at least two accurate details from the words or pictures.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name one interesting fact instead of the overall topic. They may also give details from the pictures that are not supported by the words or illustrations.
How to Assess It
- Read a short nonfiction paragraph with a picture. Ask, “What is this mostly about? Tell me two details from the text.”
