Reading/Comprehension of Literary Text/Fiction. Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of fiction and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to: (A) retell a main event from a story read aloud;

Reading/Comprehension Skills. Students use a flexible range of metacognitive reading skills in both assigned and independent reading to understand an author’s message. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts as they become self-directed, critical readers. The student is expected to: (

(D) make inferences based on the cover, title, illustrations, and plot; (E) retell or act out important events in stories; and

(F) make connections to own experiences, to ideas in other texts, and to the larger community and discuss textual evidence.

Writing: Writing/Literary Texts. Students write literary texts to express their ideas and feelings about real or imagined people, events, and ideas. Students are expected to: (A) dictate or write sentences to tell a story and put the sentences in chronological sequence; and

Listening/Speaking: Listening and Speaking/Speaking. Students speak clearly and to the point, using the conventions of language. Students continue to apply earlier standards with greater complexity. Students are expected to share information and ideas by speaking audibly and clearly using the conventions of language.
