Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

During a shared reading of a text, the student is able to identify, indicate, 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 reading or hearing an informational text, the student can identify words that are related to a specific detail and can use those words to answer a question about explicit information.

Target

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

Successor

The student is able to recognize the difference between what a text directly states and what it implies.
