About This Reader
This passage titled "Art Class" supports 4th grade students in mastering CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.1 skills through an arts-focused scenario. The text describes Lily painting in a classroom setting with Ms. Chen demonstrating techniques, explicitly mentioning this happens on Tuesday. Students must use textual evidence including "brush," "paint," "canvas," and "easel" to determine what activity Lily is engaged in. The questions prompt students to identify explicit information while also making inferences based on contextual clues. This passage effectively teaches students to use specific details as evidence when explaining both directly stated information and reasonable conclusions. The arts education theme introduces domain-specific vocabulary while appealing to creative students. By analyzing this passage, 4th graders develop essential reading comprehension strategies that transfer to more complex texts across subject areas.
Lily carefully dipped her brush into the blue paint. The empty canvas stood on the easel in front of her. Ms. Chen demonstrated brush strokes on her own painting. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating colorful artwork hanging on the walls. This was Lily's favorite Tuesday activity.
