What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use context to confirm or correct word recognition and understanding. They reread when a word does not look right, sound right, or make sense.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student notices a miscue, checks meaning and print, corrects the word, and rereads the sentence. The correction restores sense.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may guess from context without checking letters. They may correct the word but not reread the sentence for understanding.
How to Assess It
- Give a passage with a likely misread word. Observe whether students check context and print, correct it, and reread.
