Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

During a shared reading of a text, the student is able to identify and distinguish between the words and pictures on a page in text, braille, or tactile object/graphic.

Distal Precursor

When provided with illustrations that are related and unrelated to a familiar text, the student can identify the illustrations that relate to aspects of the familiar text, such as people, places, things, and ideas.

Proximal Precursor

After hearing or reading an informational text, the student can identify explicit details that are key to the information in the text.

Target

When reading a text, the student can distinguish between information that was provided explicitly and where an inference must be drawn.

Successor

The student can recognize when information is stated explicitly and when they must draw inferences to identify the meaning of the text or statement.
