Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: There is no grade 5 print concepts skill to teach or grade against. Check print tracking only if a student has trouble following text on a page.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student who needs this check can follow a sentence across a line break without skipping words. They use punctuation, not the page edge, to find where the sentence ends.
Common Misconceptions: Some students skip a line when moving their eyes down the page. Others mistake a line break for the end of a sentence.
How to Assess It: Give a student a printed paragraph with a sentence that wraps onto the next line. Ask them to point to its start and end, then read it aloud.

Lesson moves

Give a student a printed paragraph and a clear ruler to slide under each line while reading aloud.
Show a sentence that wraps onto two lines and ask, "How do you know where the sentence ends?"
Give pairs mixed sentence strips from a short paragraph and ask them to put the strips in reading order.
Hand a student a printed recipe and ask them to follow a step that wraps onto the next line.
