Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students look at a title, photographs, and drawings in a simple text. They use those clues to tell what the text is about.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can point to a title and a picture and say what each tells them. They can use both to make a sensible prediction about a page.
Common Misconceptions: Some children guess from a photo without checking the title. Others think a drawing is just decoration or that the title names only one picture.
How to Assess It: Show a page titled "At the Fire Station" with a photo of firefighters beside a truck. Ask, "What is this page about? Point to the clues that helped you."

Lesson moves

Give pairs a page titled "Fire Station" and photos of a fire truck and a playground; have them glue on the matching photo.
Show a page titled "People at the Market" with a vendor photo; ask, "What do the title and photo tell us together?"
Play picture match: read "At the Library" and "At the Park," then have students place matching drawings under each title.
Bring a library story-time flyer with a heading and photo; ask children what event it announces and how each clue helps.
