What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students pause at logical breaks to sum up the main idea and key details. They form a mental image, sketch, or brief description that matches the text.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students pause after a section and state its main idea using only key details. Their sketch or description matches the text and helps them explain what happened or what was described.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may retell every detail instead of naming the main idea and key details. They may treat visualization as decoration or add details the text does not support. Some wait until the end to check understanding instead of pausing after sections.
How to Assess It
- Give students a three-paragraph passage. Ask them to write a one-sentence summary and draw a labeled mental image for the second paragraph.

Ways to Teach It
After each paragraph, students sketch one key image on a sticky note and write a ten-word summary beside it.
Read a short passage aloud, then ask, “Which details shaped your mental picture, and how did that picture help you understand?”
In pairs, students match summary cards and image cards to passage sections, then identify and correct one mismatched set.
Students read school event directions, summarize each section, and sketch a map showing where each step happens.
