What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read or listen to a short text and find details that answer who, what, where, when, why, and how questions. They use those details to tell what happened, rather than guess.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student answers questions about a short passage and points to the words that support each answer. They can say when the text does not give an answer.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may give a likely answer without checking the text. They may mix up where and when, or confuse why something happened with how it happened.
How to Assess It
- Give students this sentence: “On Tuesday, Ava planted beans in the school garden with a shovel because her class wanted to grow food.” Ask who planted the beans, where, when, why, and how, and have students underline the words that support each answer.
