Pearl and Captain Coral settled into the observation deck at the deep-sea coral garden, preparing to practice integrating knowledge.
"Sixth-grade readers must be able to comparing across media and formats," said Captain Coral. "This requires careful, analytical thinking."
They worked through passages of increasing complexity, identifying evidence, analyzing structure, and evaluating author choices.
"Every claim needs support," said Captain Coral. "Quote the text, explain the connection, and consider alternative interpretations."
Pearl applied these analytical skills to ocean-themed texts, building arguments and defending conclusions.
"Reading at this level is not just understanding words," said Pearl. "It is understanding ideas, perspectives, and craft."
"You are thinking like a scholar," said Captain Coral.
