Notes and Additional Information
With assistance, students should understand how a piece of informational text is structured. At this level, students ask and answer questions about words they do not know; they can identify the main print concepts/features of a book and understand the roles of both author and illustrator. Use questions and prompts such as: What do you do when you come to a word you do not know? What can help you? (glossary, use context) What is the job of the author? What is the job of the illustrator? Show me the front of the book. Show me the back of the book.
