What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students answer a question or share an idea or opinion about a text. With adult help, they point to words, pictures, or pages that support their response.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student answers a question or shares an opinion, then points to a matching picture, page, or phrase. With prompting, the student explains how that part supports the response.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may give an answer without pointing to the text or picture that helped them. They may choose an interesting page that does not support their idea.
How to Assess It
- Read a short picture book, then ask, “How did the character feel? Point to a picture or words that helped you decide.”

Ways to Teach It
Place sticky notes on two book pages, then have students choose and mark the page that supports a given answer.
Ask, “Which part shows the character was kind?” and have partners point to evidence before sharing aloud.
Play Evidence Match by pairing simple answer cards with copied pictures or sentences from a familiar read-aloud.
Show a classroom sign or lunch menu, ask a question, and have students point to the part that provides the answer.
