01

What Students Need to Do

Read stories, poems, and plays that grow more challenging during the year. Work through tricky language, layouts, and shifts in time. Choose books for enjoyment or a school task.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain events and character choices using details from the text, even when the story shifts in time or uses unfamiliar words. They choose books that fit their purpose and offer some challenge.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a flashback as the next event or skip a poem's line breaks and miss a change in meaning. They may choose a book only by its cover or give up after one unfamiliar word.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a one-page story excerpt with a flashback. Ask them to identify what happened earlier, point to the clue that shows it, and choose one of three displayed books to read next with a reason.

1. 01

   Give pairs story event strips to put in time order, then have them mark the words that helped them place each event.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Why might the author tell us the ending first?' Have students discuss the question using a sentence from a short story.

3. 03

   Set out a poem, a short play, and a story; students match each to a summary card and point to proof.

4. 04

   Use real library book jackets; students choose one book for pleasure and one for a book review, then explain each choice.
