What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students answer questions about something they read, hear, or view. They point to a word, picture, or detail that supports each answer.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students answer a question about a story or source, then point to a matching picture detail or word. They explain the connection in a simple sentence.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may give an answer from memory or personal experience instead of using the book. They may point to a picture that does not support their answer.
How to Assess It
- Read a short picture book page and ask, “How is the character feeling? Point to one picture detail or word that proves your answer.”

Ways to Teach It
Read a picture book page, then have students place a sticky note beside the picture detail that answers a question.
Ask, “What makes you think that?” and record each student’s answer and supporting detail on a class chart.
Play Evidence Match by pairing picture cards showing events with sentence cards that describe what happened.
Show a classroom sign or lunch menu, then ask students to point out the detail that answers a practical question.
