What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use titles, headings, photos, and charts to understand a social studies page. They find a fact in one of these features and explain how it helped.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student uses a heading to find a section about a community job. They read a labeled chart to name a fact and point to where they found it.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may guess what a whole page is about from one photo. They may read the tallest bar on a chart without checking its label.
How to Assess It
- Give students a one-page article about a community garden with a title, photo, and chart. Ask, “What is this page mostly about? What fact does the chart show?”

Ways to Teach It
Hand out a page about a fire station. Have pairs circle the title, box a heading, and label what the photo shows.
Show a page about a town park and ask, “What does the photo tell you that the heading does not?”
Play feature match: students pair printed heading, photo, and chart cards with questions each feature can answer.
Give students a local library event flyer with a heading and photo. Ask them to identify the event and one pictured detail.
