Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students listen to a nonfiction page and look closely at its picture. With a question or hint, they explain how something in the picture connects to the words.
What Mastery Looks Like: After hearing a page read aloud, a student points to a detail that matches a sentence. They might say, "The words say bees have wings. The picture shows their wings."
Common Misconceptions: Some students name what they see without connecting it to the words. Others say the picture shows a fact from the page that cannot actually be seen.
How to Assess It: Show a photo of frog eggs in a pond and read, "A frog lays eggs in water." Ask, "What do you see in the photo that matches the words?"

Lesson moves

Give pairs animal photo cards and matching sentences; read each sentence aloud, then have students match them and point to the detail that fits.
Read a page about turtles aloud and ask, "What do the words tell us, and what does the picture show about that?"
Play caption detective: show three plant photos, read "Roots grow underground," and have students choose a photo and explain their choice.
Show a grocery flyer photo labeled "red apples" and ask students what the photo shows that matches the words.
