1AA• use text features (e.g., title, headings, photographs, labels, font) to access obvious
information • What does the title tell you about this story? • Look at this photograph. What does it tell you? • Why do you think this (point to word in book) is written in such big, black letters? Is the character speaking in a quiet voice or a loud voice? SA • make greater use of textual details in their responses |
2AA• use text features (e.g., headings, simple diagrams, captions, labels, font)
to gain additional information from the text • How did this photograph help you understand ____ (idea from book)? • What does this label tell us about this picture? • Why is this word written this way (e.g., squiggly letters)? • What do you notice about the way the author wrote the word, STOP? Why do you think the author did that? SA • provide interpretations and connections (often beyond the obvious) supported by details and/or experiences |
3AA• use text features (e.g., captions, charts/ diagrams, font, glossaries) to gain
additional information from the text, demonstrating a general understanding of their purpose; may have difficulty interpreting some visual information • Show me the glossary.
