01

What Students Need to Do

Students notice choices writers make, such as repetition, rhyme, sound words, and picture details. They explain how a choice makes them feel, think, predict, or wonder.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Given a read-aloud, students can point out a repeated phrase, rhyme, sound word, or picture detail. They can connect that choice to a clear reaction. They can say whether the choice worked and give a simple reason.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may retell the story instead of naming a writer’s choice. They may name a rhyme or repeated word but not explain its effect. They may share a feeling without linking it to a word or picture.

04

How to Assess It

Show the line “Tap, tap, TAP!” and ask, “What did the writer do with the words, and what did it make you think or feel?”

1. 01

   Give students sticky notes to mark repeated words and sound words in a familiar picture book, then draw a face showing their response.

2. 02

   After a read-aloud, ask, “Which word or picture choice made you wonder, and what question came to mind?”

3. 03

   Play Craft Detective by reading short lines while students hold up rhyme, repetition, or sound-word cards and explain their reactions.

4. 04

   Compare two cereal box slogans and ask which playful or repeated words make the cereal sound more appealing.
