What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students notice an unfamiliar word or phrase and use a picture dictionary or teacher-approved digital resource to find its meaning. They check that the meaning fits the sentence or situation.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given an unfamiliar word, students can find it in a picture dictionary or search for it in a teacher-approved digital resource. They can use the result to explain the word in their own words.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may choose the first picture they see without checking whether it fits the sentence. They may confuse finding how a word sounds with finding what it means.
How to Assess It
- Give students the sentence, “The rabbit nibbled the carrot.” Ask them to find “nibbled” in a picture dictionary and complete, “Nibbled means ____.”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs word cards and picture dictionaries; students find each word, mark the page with a sticky note, and match it to a picture.
Read, “The puppy curled up on the rug,” then have students look up the phrase, draw it, and explain its meaning.
Play Find and Match by having students locate words in a picture dictionary and place them beside matching picture cards.
Show a simple weather forecast, identify “drizzle,” and use a digital picture glossary to decide which clothes would fit the weather.
