What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use drawing, dictation, oral expression, emergent writing, or a combination to name a familiar topic and supply information. Multiple modes can work together.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student clearly names a topic and provides relevant information through one or more modes. Marks, words, pictures, and speech agree.

Common Misconceptions

Students may draw without communicating information or name a topic without details. They may copy adult words without explaining them.

How to Assess It

Give a familiar topic. Ask the student to draw, dictate, speak, or write the topic and two related pieces of information.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Draw a familiar topic and add dictated or emergent-written facts.

  2. Ask students what their picture teaches.

  3. Play Topic and Detail Match.

  4. Create an information page about a class pet or place.
