What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read grade-level stories, articles, and decodable texts with a question in mind. They use what they read to answer the question and reread when something does not make sense.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can read a grade-level text and tell what happened or what they learned. They can point to a detail that answers the reading question.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students think finishing a page quickly means they understood it. Others guess a word from a picture or keep reading after a sentence stops making sense.
How to Assess It
- Hand out a short grade-level article about beavers and say, "Read to find out why beavers build dams." On an exit slip, ask students to write one reason and copy a sentence that supports it.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a grade-level animal article and sticky notes; they mark a detail that answers, "How does this animal stay safe?"
After reading a short story, ask, "What did the character want, and which event helped you figure that out?"
Play purpose-card match: partners draw "find a problem" or "find a fact," read a matching story or article, and point to the answer.
Have students read a school event flyer to find the start time and what to bring, then highlight both details.
