1st Grade CCSS: Reading: Informational Text

For first graders, this Common Core area helps students gain mastery of the deeper tasks involved in reading a non-fiction text. No matter what they are reading, the standards require students to increase the complexity in the texts they read and deepen their understanding of the connections within and between texts. Among the complete standards for this grade, first graders will be asked to: identify and retell key details of a text, describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text, answer questions to clarify the meaning of words in a text, use text features like glossaries, headings, tables of contents, use illustrations in the text to describe key ideas, compare and contrast two texts on the same topic, read informational texts appropriate to the grade level.
