What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use a picture, read-aloud, short text, or person to answer a question about a topic. With teacher help, they identify the detail that gave them the answer.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student answers a simple topic question using a detail from a picture, read-aloud, interview, or teacher-provided source. With a prompt, the student points to or names the source used.

Common Misconceptions

Students may name anything they notice instead of selecting details that answer the question. They may think only printed words give information, or guess without checking a source.

How to Assess It

Show a picture and short caption about frogs. Ask, “Where do frogs live, and what detail helped you answer?”

Ways to Teach It

  1. Set out animal photos and fact cards, then have students match each question card to a source that gives the answer.

  2. After a read-aloud, ask, “What did we learn about nests, and did the words or picture tell us?”

  3. Play Source Search by reading a question while pairs race to point to the picture, sentence, or person that can answer it.

  4. Invite the school nurse to answer prepared questions about staying healthy, then record one learned fact beside the nurse’s photo.
