emergent Phases 1-2

simple authentic written multimodal texts

Texts used for the reading task should be written multimodal. This means that the texts should have the written mode and other modes such as visual and spatial modes. Examples: a written text with images, a web page with written text and images

At the end of the emergent level, students should be exposed to a wide variety of simple authentic written multimodal texts and be able to:

Level descriptors

Level	Descriptor	Specific indicators
0	The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below.	—
1-2	identifies basic connections between simple authentic texts	Makes simple connections between clearly related ideas Shows basic understanding of cause and effect Develops simple interpretations Recognizes obvious patterns in texts
3-4	identifies basic connections between simple authentic texts	Makes logical connections between related ideas Shows good understanding of relationships Develops clear interpretations Recognizes clear patterns and themes
5-6	interprets connections between simple authentic texts	Makes sophisticated connections across texts Shows strong understanding of complex relationships Develops insightful interpretations Recognizes subtle patterns and themes
7-8	analyses connections between simple authentic texts	Makes expert connections across multiple contexts Shows masterful understanding of complex relationships Develops original interpretations Recognizes nuanced patterns with insight

capable Phases 3-4

simple and some complex authentic written multimodal texts

Texts used for the reading task should be written multimodal texts. This means that the texts should have the written mode and other modes such as visual and spatial modes. Examples: a written text with images, a web page with written text and images.

At the end of the capable level, students should be exposed to a wide variety of simple and some complex authentic written multimodal texts and be able to:
