What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students identify the front cover, back cover, and title page of a book. They use physical position and visible features to distinguish each part.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student points to and names all three book parts accurately. The student can locate the title on the title page and orient the book correctly.

Common Misconceptions

Students may call the back cover the last page. They may confuse the title page with the front cover because both show the title.

How to Assess It

Hand the student a picture book. Ask them to identify the front cover, back cover, and title page and explain one clue for each.
