What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students notice when their reading sounds wrong or stops making sense. They go back, fix the word or phrasing, and reread to restore meaning and flow.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student notices when a word or phrase does not fit the sentence. The student checks context and word parts, makes a correction, and rereads smoothly without teacher prompting.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may replace a word with a similar-looking word and keep reading even when the sentence no longer makes sense. They may restart without trying a new strategy, or wait for the teacher to supply the word.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short unfamiliar passage to read aloud. Record whether they notice an error, correct it independently, and reread the sentence smoothly.
