01

What Students Need to Do

Students use a title, picture, and short text to tell what a page is mostly about and find a fact that supports it. They ask and answer who, what, and where questions. With help, they compare a photo and a book page and say why the writer made the page.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student says a page is about crossing guards and points to a sentence about helping children cross streets. They use the title and photo to answer a question. With a prompt, they explain that the writer made the page to teach readers.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may guess an answer from the picture instead of checking the words. They may name one small detail as the main idea. They may think every writer is telling a story, even when a page gives facts.

04

How to Assess It

Show a crossing guard photo and a card titled 'Crossing Guards' that says, 'Crossing guards help children cross streets. They stand near schools.' Ask, 'What is this mostly about? Where do they stand? What does the photo show? Why did someone write this card?'

1. 01

   Give pairs a crossing guard photo and book page; have them mark the title and one stated fact with sticky notes.

2. 02

   Ask, 'What can you learn from the crossing guard photo that the book page does not say?' Have partners compare answers.

3. 03

   Make who, what, and where cards; read three crossing guard facts aloud and have students hold up the matching question card.

4. 04

   Show a photo of a neighborhood crosswalk; ask how a crossing guard might help there, using one fact from the page.
