What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read beginning-reader texts suited to their ability accurately and fluently enough to understand. They monitor meaning, use context, self-correct, and reread.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student reads with growing smoothness and phrasing while retaining meaning. A mismatch prompts checking, correction, and rereading.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may race, guess from pictures, or read word by word without meaning. They may continue after an error changes the sentence.
How to Assess It
- Have students read a suitable beginning-reader passage twice and retell it. Note accuracy, phrasing, rate, self-correction, and comprehension.
