Students read informational texts connected to grade 2 topics and subject areas and determine the meaning of words or phrases within the texts.
In the Classroom:
Students use various strategies, such as looking at other words and information in the same sentence and using clues in pictures, illustrations, and text features, to determine the meaning of the words or phrases.
In guided reading, the teacher selects words or phrases that will be challenging to students. Students discuss the meanings and annotate the evidence in the text that helped them understand the words or phrases.
During shared reading, the teacher models how to use captions, illustrations, diagrams, glossaries, and other text features to find evidence that provides the meaning of unknown words or phrases.
