What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Children listen to short texts about familiar places and events. With help, they tell why the writer made the text, find facts stated in it, and ask and answer questions with classmates.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A child can answer a who, where, or when question using words the teacher rereads. They can say whether a notice gives information or asks people to do something, then take turns talking about it.
Common Misconceptions
- Children may guess from a picture even when the words say something else. They may confuse the writer with a person in the text. They may think every text was written to tell a story.
How to Assess It
- Read aloud: “The library has story time on Tuesday. Families meet in the reading room.” Ask where families meet, why someone wrote the notice, and what question they would ask a partner.

Ways to Teach It
Write “Story time is Tuesday at the library” on a card; pairs place sticky notes on the day and place as you read.
Read “Help clean the park Saturday!” Ask, “What does the writer want us to do? Which words tell you?”
Read “Ms. Lee serves lunch at noon in the cafeteria”; children match who, when, and where cards to the answers.
Walk to the school office, read its posted hours aloud, and ask partners when it opens and why the sign is there.
