What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students preview a text, set a reason for reading, and use the title, pictures, and prior knowledge to predict. While and after reading, they ask questions, reread confusing parts, check predictions, and retell key ideas.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student previews a new text, names a reading purpose, and selects a helpful strategy. The student notices confusion, rereads or uses context, then explains key ideas using words and pictures from the text.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think a prediction must be correct or that pictures alone give the full meaning. They may retell every detail instead of key ideas, or keep reading when a sentence stops making sense.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short illustrated passage with three boxes labeled Before, During, and After. Ask them to record a prediction, a question, and a two-sentence retelling.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs sticky notes to mark one prediction, one confusing part, and one key idea in an illustrated nonfiction book.
Read a story aloud, then ask, “Which strategy helped you understand the problem, and what detail did you use?”
Play Strategy Match by pairing cards labeled predict, question, reread, and retell with short reading situations.
Use a school lunch menu and ask students to preview headings, find requested information, and explain how the layout helped.
