What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students notice how books, signs, maps, and other texts are arranged. They name features such as titles, pictures, labels, arrows, and repeated patterns. They explain how those choices help readers understand and use the text.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students point to features such as titles, pictures, labels, arrows, or repeated lines and tell how each helps the reader. They can choose which of two layouts better fits a purpose and give a simple reason.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think pictures, labels, headings, and repeated lines are only decoration. They may also believe page order does not matter or that every text should be organized like a story.
How to Assess It
- Show a labeled classroom map and the same map without labels. Ask, “Which map helps a new student more, and why?”
