What we learned about vocabulary is that readers move from giving the gist of a word all the way to recognizing the importance of the word to the content.

We don't want to settle for gives the gist. Instead, we want to work with students and push them to be able to explain the meaning of the word in their own terms to demonstrate true understanding. Knowing the progression of skills allows me to meet each reader where s/he is and teach exactly what the reader needs next!

1.) Looks closely at the feature (photograph) isn't explicitly said in the text and then combines that with another fact.

*Needs to attend to all the information in every part of a text-both the main text and features- and make plans for how to read the page or spread.

2.) Studies the details in a photograph and combines it with other information that was learned in the text. The number of details show a deep understanding.

*Recognizes common features such as photos and illustrations and is ready to study them more closely to visualize, determine important information, and synthesize what's in the feature with what's in the main text.

3.) Demonstrates information learned from the text feature and combines what is learned with the main text.

*Is reading texts with complex features and needs to study them more closely to visualize, determine important information, and synthesize information from the feature with that in the main text.

4.) Considering what extra information with other resources and how that information connects.

*Is reading texts with multiple features. Is ready to analyze an author's intent regarding text features, synthesize the information in multiple features and text, and/or compare and contrast information from across features.
