NL-ENG.K-12.3 EVALUATION STRATEGIES
Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend interpret,
evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their prior experience, their
interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning
and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding
of textual features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure,
context, graphics).
