What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose from several reading and writing strategies based on the text, purpose, and difficulty. They apply a strategy, judge whether it helped, and try another when needed.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can approach an unfamiliar text or writing task and select a useful strategy without being told which one to use. They can explain their choice, check whether it worked, and switch strategies when needed.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use the same strategy for every task, such as highlighting everything or always making an outline. They may name a strategy without showing how it improved understanding or writing.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short paragraph and a brief writing prompt. Ask them to choose one reading strategy and one writing strategy, use each, and explain why each fit the task.
