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

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 identify specific words in a story that answer a question about information explicitly stated in the story.

Target

The student can analyze a story to identify where information is explicitly stated and where inferences should be drawn to acquire the underlying information.

Successor

The student can determine what a story states explicitly and where inferences need to be drawn to acquire underlying information.
