This supplement is designed as a resource for helping students read and respond to literature and other forms of print. It notes that kindergarten through third graders are expected to: develop an ability to read with increasing fluency and understanding by using writing and a variety of other reading strategies; and read, interpret, and respond to ideas, information, and events in written materials with familiar content and a limited range of unfamiliar content. This supplement includes benchmarks, assessments, and instructional intervention strategies for each grade. Benchmarks in the supplement outline what students should know and be able to do to meet mandated competencies; informal and observational assessments determine if benchmarks are being met; and instructional intervention strategies assist a child in meeting a benchmark. Three publications are suggested as sources of sight word lists. A blank emotions chart and assessment recommendations are included. (PM)
