Phonics/Word Analysis

A suggested text aligned reading standard has been identified for each week of Reading Street within the scope and sequence pages of the map. Although a standard might be targeted for mastery, embedding additional comprehension standards as part of close reading while scaffolding text with repeated reading and discussion is vital in order for students to comprehend text. The reading standards are like a path that guide students through multiple encounters with text. • Reading Standards 1-3 take the student through “ what does the text say? ” • Reading Standards 4-6 guide the student through “ how does the text work? ” • Reading Standards 7-9 take the student through “ what does the text mean? ” (Fisher, Frey 2014) Reading Street Skills and Strategies (i.e., author’ s purpose, visualize, sequence, draw conclusions) can be used by students to comprehend and master standards.
