 * 6RC2.0 READING COMPREHENSION (FOCUS ON INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS):** Students **read** and **understand** grade-level-appropriate material. They **describe** and **connect** the essential ideas, arguments, and perspectives of the text by using their knowledge of text structure, organization, and purpose. The selections in Recommended Readings in Literature, Kindergarten Through Grade Eight illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to be read by students. In addition, by grade eight, students **read one million words annually** on their own, including a good representation of grade-level­ appropriate narrative and expository text (e.g., classic and contemporary literature, magazines, newspapers, online information). In grade six, students continue to **make progress** toward this goal. (average word count per page = 250 words, so goal = 4000 pages, 60x20=1200, 60x25=1500, 60x30=1800, so year total = 4500, higher than required)
