What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students add a title, picture, or label that helps a reader understand their page. With adult help, they make sure each feature matches the message.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student chooses a title that tells the main topic. With prompting, the student adds a matching picture or label and explains how it helps the reader.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may draw pictures that do not match their words. They may use a title as a full sentence or place labels where readers cannot tell what they name.
How to Assess It
- Give students a simple picture and sentence, then ask them to add a matching title and one label that helps the reader understand it.
