7th Grade Reading: Informational Text

For seventh 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, seventh graders will be asked to: support a textual analysis with multiple direct citations and textual inferences, analyze the structure that authors use within a text to convey meaning, understand how an author has structured their writing to distinguish their meaning and analysis from other texts on the same subject, begin to analyze how stories change when presented in audio, video or multimedia versions of the text, read text appropriate to grade level while increasing in the level of text complexity throughout the year.
