be advised to look for varying characteristic of the different spiders
presented in the book.

open-ended questions.
After students read, they should be allowed to view various
images of spiders from the book. Children should be encouraged to look for

placed each spider in each group. The teacher will monitor students and
encourage students to adjust their image placement if necessary.

Reading/Comprehension
Skills. Students use a flexible range of metacognitive reading skills in both
assigned and independent reading to understand an author’s message. Students
will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly
more complex texts as they become self-directed, critical readers.
The student is
expected to:
(A) establish purposes for reading selected texts
based upon content to enhance comprehension; (B) ask literal questions of text;
(C) monitor and adjust comprehension (e.g., using
background knowledge, creating sensory images, re-reading a portion aloud,
generating questions);
(D) make inferences about text using textual
evidence to support understanding;
(E) retell important events in stories in logical order; and
(F) make connections to own experiences, to ideas in other texts, and to
the larger community and discuss textual evidence.
