This supplement is designed as a resource for helping students in grades four through eight read and respond to literature and other forms of print. It notes that fourth through eighth graders are expected to: read independently with fluency and for meaning using a variety of strategies; and read, analyze, and respond in written and oral language of other art forms to increasingly challenge literature and other resources. 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. A blank emotions chart is included, as well as a list of assessment recommendations. A list of online resources contains 37 Web sites, and a glossary lists 42 technology terms. (PM)
