What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students figure out who a text is meant for and what the writer wants that reader to know, feel, or do. They notice how words, details, pictures, and format support those choices. They use similar choices when making their own texts.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can identify the likely audience and purpose of a story, note, poster, or directions, then support their answer with details. They can create a short text with words and pictures that fit a chosen reader and goal.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may confuse the topic with the reason a text was made. They may name the characters as the audience or say the audience is “everyone” without using evidence.
How to Assess It
- Show a lost-dog poster and ask: Who should read this, what should they do, and which detail helped you decide? Have students add one sentence aimed at the poster’s readers.

Ways to Teach It

Play Audience Match with cards showing texts, readers, and goals, then have students build and explain matching sets.
Have students create a school event flyer with a clear date, place, action, and picture chosen for families.
