Developing Skilled Readers and Building Reading Stamina

Virginia SOL K.DSR

The student will build knowledge and comprehension skills from reading and listening to a range of texts. This includes fluently reading decodable sentences and gathering evidence from content-rich texts (through read alouds) on topics to gain purposeful knowledge and vocabulary.

What students need to be able to do

  • Using knowledge of letter-sound correspondences to read controlled decodable sentences and texts
  • Reading texts that include phonic elements and irregular words
  • Rereading controlled decodable sentences and texts
  • Drawing several pieces of evidence from read-alouds to support claims, conclusions, and inferences
  • Quoting or paraphrasing from texts accurately
  • Tracing where relevant evidence is located
