6-8.RST Reading Standards for Literacy

Key Ideas and Details
- 6-8.RST.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.
- 6-8.RST.2 Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; provide an accurate summary of the text distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.
- 6-8.RST.3 Read and precisely follow a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.
Craft and Structure
- 6-8.RST.4 Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6–8 texts and topics.
- 6-8.RST.5 Analyze the structure an author uses to organize a text, including how the major sections contribute to the whole and to an understanding of the topic.
- 6-8.RST.6 Analyze the author's purpose in providing an explanation, describing a procedure, or discussing an experiment in a text.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
- 6-8.RST.7 Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table etc.).
- 6-8.RST.8 Distinguish among facts, reasoned judgment based on research findings, bias, and speculation in a text.
- 6-8.RST.9 Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.
Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity
- 6-8.RST.10 By the end of grade 8, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 6–8 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
