What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use tools such as drawing apps and digital books to make pages with pictures and words. With help, they save and share their work. They may make a page alone or with a partner.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can add a picture and a label or short sentence to a digital page. They can make a small change, then show the finished page to a classmate with help.
Common Misconceptions
- Some children tap letters without checking whether the word matches their picture. Others think saving a page means classmates can see it, or accidentally change a partner's work.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to draw a favorite snack on a tablet, add a label or dictate a sentence, and place the page in a class digital book with help. Have them show their page to a partner.

Ways to Teach It
Pair students at tablets to draw a playground scene, add a label, and place their pages in a shared digital class book.
Show two digital pages and ask, 'What words could we add so a reader knows more about these pictures?'
Play a partner edit game: one child adds a word to a class slide, and the other checks it against a word card.
Have students make digital signs with pictures and words for classroom shelves, then display the signs where classmates will use them.
