Virginia SOL 1.DSR.C

ELA1st GradeDeveloping Skilled Readers and Building Reading Stamina

The Standard

With prompting and support, when responding to text through discussions and/or writing, draw several pieces of evidence from read-alouds to support claims, conclusions, and inferences, including quoting or paraphrasing from texts accurately and tracing where relevant evidence is located (Textual Evidence, K-12).

Virginia Standards of Learning for English · The student will build knowledge and comprehension skills from reading and listening to a range of challenging, content-rich texts. This includes fluently reading decodable texts and gathering evidence from reading widely (through content-rich read alouds) on topics to gain purposeful knowledge and vocabulary

What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students listen closely to a read-aloud and answer questions using more than one detail from the text. With help, they quote or retell details accurately and show where the evidence appears.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students answer a question or make an inference using several accurate details from a read-aloud. They can quote or retell those details and point to the page, picture, or part of the story where each appears.

Common Misconceptions

Students may give a personal opinion instead of using details from the book. They may use only one detail, misquote the text, or point to a page that does not support their answer.

How to Assess It

Read a short passage aloud, then ask, “What can you tell about the character? Give two details and name where you heard each one.”

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. After a read-aloud, students place two sticky notes on pages that support a class claim, then explain each choice.

  2. Ask, “How do you know the character feels worried?” Partners answer with two details and name where each appears.

  3. Play Evidence Match: students pair claim cards with supporting picture or sentence cards from a familiar read-aloud.

  4. Read a short weather book, then have students use two facts to explain which clothes fit the forecast.
