What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose a helpful reading or writing move when they get stuck or need to make meaning. They might reread, use pictures, ask a question, plan with a sketch, stretch out words, or revise a sentence.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student notices when meaning breaks down or when writing needs more detail. The student selects a fitting move, uses it, and tries another if it does not work. The student can briefly explain the choice.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use the same move every time, such as sounding out, even when the problem is meaning or organization. They may think pictures replace reading the words, or that a first draft should not change. Some can name a strategy but cannot explain when or why to use it.
How to Assess It
- Use an exit slip with a three-sentence story and ask, "What happened, and which move helped you understand?" Then students write one more story sentence and name the move they used.

Ways to Teach It
Place reread, picture clue, ask, sketch, sound out, and revise cards in a toolbox; students select and use one during shared reading and writing.
After a read-aloud, students complete the prompt, "A move that helped me understand was ___ because ___."
Play Strategy Charades: one student acts out rereading, sketching, asking, or revising, and classmates name when that move would help.
Have pairs write directions for washing hands, then swap papers and choose a strategy to fix any confusing step.
