What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read emergent-reader texts accurately enough to understand them. They use developing phonics, sight words, picture support, and rereading appropriately.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student reads a suitable text with enough word accuracy to follow its meaning. The student can retell or answer a simple question afterward.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may tell the story from pictures without attending to print. They may sound out every word but lose the sentence meaning.
How to Assess It
- Have the student read a suitable emergent-reader page and answer one meaning question. Note print attention, accuracy, and rereading.
