Knowledge and Skills Statement
Use a rubric to monitor student progress. Students should be able to identify the central idea and provide supporting evidence with the prompting of a teacher. While reading a text in a whole group or small group context, a teacher may prompt the student by asking questions.
Examples:
- What is the most important thing that happened in the text? What are three details that tell you that?
- What is the most important point about this topic? What details tell you that?
Sample rubric:
1) The student is unable to identify the central idea or provide supporting evidence even with adult assistance.
2) The student is able to identify the central idea but is unable to provide supporting evidence even with adult assistance.
3) The student is able to identify the central idea and inconsistently provides supporting evidence with adult assistance.
4) The student is able to identify the central idea and is able to provide supporting evidence with adult assistance.
