Students establish a strong foundation for Grade 6 literacy by learning to approach fiction, nonfiction, poetry, digital texts, and visual texts strategically. They will activate prior knowledge, make predictions and inferences, identify main ideas and supporting details, summarize objectively, determine the meaning of unfamiliar words, and distinguish fact, opinion, and interpretation. Students will support responses with specific textual evidence and examine how point of view, setting, character, organization, and visuals influence meaning. The topic culminates in a comparative response in which students analyze two texts addressing a related theme or issue.
