What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify facts they learn from an illustration and facts they learn from the written words. They explain which source gives each fact.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given an informational page, students can name one detail shown in the illustration and one stated in the words. They can point to evidence for each answer.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name a detail without saying where they found it. They may also use prior knowledge or assume every detail in the picture appears in the words.
How to Assess It
- Give students one informational page and ask, “Circle one fact shown by the picture. Underline one fact stated in the words.”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a nonfiction page and two sticky-note colors, then have them label one picture fact and one word fact.
Display a page and ask, “What did the picture teach you? What different information did the words give?”
Play Picture or Words: read detail cards aloud, and students hold up an eye card or a word card to name the source.
Examine a weather forecast, then list what the icons show and what the written labels explain.
