Well, I have to say that the lettered points do not cover the objective (too geared to fiction when the objective is broader). You may see it clearly (and I can clearly see it), but as written, something, somewhere will be neglected. But in terms of the first objective, I would think it would also include the ability to apply an understanding of the meaning of bases and suffixes and how their addition to a word changes meaning. We saw, in my previous district, kiddos who could pronounce the word but were not thinking about word meaning. I am thinking I would like students to be able to evaluate a passage and identify words that are unknown to them. Then I would want them to be able to apply a variety of strategies including context clues and structural analysis to predict meaning. If this failed, I would want them to be able to identify those word that appear critical to understanding and be able to identify next steps (dictionary, online resources, etc.). I don't know, Rosie, is that any closer to what you are looking for?
