What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students pause after a short part of a read-aloud or grade-level text. They tell the main action or idea and form a matching picture in their minds or on paper.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student gives a brief, accurate statement about each part of a text. The student's sketch or oral description includes key details supported by the words.

Common Misconceptions

Students may retell every detail instead of naming the main action or idea. They may copy the book's illustration or add imagined details that the words do not support.

How to Assess It

Read a four-sentence passage aloud and stop halfway. Ask students to draw what is happening, then tell or write one sentence about the main action.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Read one page, then have students use crayons to sketch the key action and label one important detail.

  2. Ask partners, “What happened in this part, and what did you picture while listening?”

  3. Play Stop, Sketch, Say by pausing a read-aloud at three points for quick drawings and one-sentence summaries.

  4. Read simple playground directions, then have students picture and explain each step before following it.
