Goal 3. Reading

The learner will comprehend written English in personal, social, and academic contexts from print and non-print materials.

Level: Intermediate Low

Students will begin to use limited vocabulary to participate in discussions on familiar topics spoken at normal speed with periods of momentary silence. In addition, they may use forms of non-verbal communication to demonstrate comprehension. Learning objectives focus on identifying elements of a story, retelling text with limited vocabulary and adjectives, using decoding strategies to understand text, making predictions, using capitalization, editing writing for spelling and subject/verb agreement, writing logical sentences in sequence, and following one-step and two-step directions.

Objective IL 3.03

Identify and interpret elements of fiction and non-fiction by referencing a text commensurate with the student's English language proficiency level (e.g., sequence, setting, characters, cause and effect).
