Common Core Standards

Grade 3

Reading RI.3.8

Describe the logical connection between particular sentences and paragraphs in a text (e.g., comparison, cause/effect, first/second/third in a sequence).

According to this standard, the steps for student success are as follows:

Step 1: Give students something to read.
Step 2: Point students to the first sentence or paragraph.
Step 3: Point students to the sentence or paragraph right after that first one.
Step 4: Ask students to connect the two.
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit.

As shown, this standard should be pretty straight-forward.
