Reading Standards for Literature Key Ideas and Details RL.4.1Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. Students cite textual evidence in each selection of ilit. The Read Aloud, Think Aloud close reading activities include comprehension monitoring questions. Every day, during Read Aloud, Think Aloud and Whole Group, teachers model good reading practice including making inferences. Ask Questions (examples) Unit 1 Lesson 18: Read Aloud, Think Aloud Unit 2 Lesson 1: Read Aloud, Think Aloud; Make Inferences (narrative examples) Unit 1 Lesson 11: Whole Group; Unit 1 Lesson 13: Read Aloud, Think Aloud; Whole Group Unit 2 Lesson 16: Read Aloud, Think Aloud; Whole Group RL.4.2 Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text.
