01

What Students Need to Do

Students read stories, poems, and other literary texts that get harder across the year. They make sense of characters, events, and language. With help when needed, they choose texts for fun or a class task.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student explains a story's events or a poem's meaning using details from the text. They follow dialogue and use nearby words to figure out unfamiliar phrases. With a prompt, they choose a text they want to read and one that fits a class question.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some students can read the words aloud but cannot explain what happened. Others confuse a character's words with the narrator's or stop at one unfamiliar word. They may pick a book for its cover even when it does not fit the task.

04

How to Assess It

Offer two short stories, one with dialogue and one with a repeated pattern. Have students choose one, read it, and write what happened and which line helped them know.

1. 01

   Give pairs a story cut into four strips; have them order the events and find a sentence that explains a character's choice.

2. 02

   After reading a poem with an unfamiliar phrase, ask, 'What might it mean, and which nearby words helped you decide?'

3. 03

   Play book-match: give each group three story cards and a task card, then have them pick a fitting story and explain why.

4. 04

   At the school library, have students pick one story for fun and another to answer, 'How do friends solve problems?'
