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

The student can identify the major characters, setting, and major events in a story without the use of additional information from pictures.

Proximal Precursor

The student can recognize and identify information that is directly stated in a story.

Target

The student can identify details in a story that answer a question about explicit information and can analyze the story to determine both what it says explicitly and where inferences need to be drawn to acquire a full understanding of the story's meaning.

Successor

The student can analyze a story to identify where information is explicitly stated and where inferences should be drawn to acquire a full understanding of the story's meaning.
