What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students arrange pictures, words, and pages in an order that helps a reader understand. They choose titles, labels, numbers, or repeated lines to match the purpose and reader.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can create a simple story, how-to page, or information page with a clear order. The student can explain why a title, label, picture, or number helps the reader.

Common Misconceptions

Students may place ideas in the order they drew them rather than the order a reader needs. They may add labels or numbers as decoration, or use a story format when directions are needed.

How to Assess It

Give students three mixed-up pictures showing how to wash hands. Ask them to order the pictures and add one feature that helps a reader follow the steps.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs three picture cards showing planting a seed, then have them order, glue, and label the cards so a classmate can follow.

  2. Compare a labeled diagram and a story page, then ask, “Which one helps us learn about a frog, and why?”

  3. Play Fix the Page by having students add a title, label, or number to make a confusing sample easier to read.

  4. Create a classroom handwashing sign with numbered pictures and short captions, then post it by the sink for younger visitors.
