Recognize and use organizational patterns found in informational text ( e.g., sequence, description, cause and effect, compare/contrast) to construct meaning
Use word structure elements, known words, and word patterns to determine meaning (e.g., contractions, plurals, possessives, basic parts of speech, compounds, syllables)
Generate and/or answer literal, inferential, and critical questions
Recognize semantic relationships (e.g., patterns and categories, synonyms, antonyms, multiple meanings)
Use text features to locate information and gain meaning from a text (e.g., table of contents, maps, charts, illustrations, headings, captions, font/format styles)
Identify elements of literary text (e.g., characters, setting, plot)
Identify author purpose(s) (explain, entertain, inform, persuade) to support text comprehension
