What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students develop and answer questions about key details in texts and information presented through varied formats. They use pictures, words, audio, or simple data.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student asks a relevant question and answers with an accurate key detail. The response identifies where the information came from.

Common Misconceptions

Students may ask about a minor or unrelated detail. They may answer from personal knowledge rather than the source.

How to Assess It

Provide a short illustrated text and audio detail. Ask students to pose one key-detail question and answer another using the sources.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Place question cards beside key details from pictures, words, and audio.

  2. Ask students which detail matters most.

  3. Play Ask and Answer with mixed-format clues.

  4. Question a school poster and announcement for key information.
