identify imagery, figurative language (e.g., personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole), refrain, rhythm, and flow when responding to literature
predict information based on title, topic, genre, and prior knowledge
identify explicit information and infer implicit information relating to main idea in nonfiction, fiction, and other literary genres, using details, sequence of events, cause and effect relationships, and problem and solution
Writing
vary sentences by structure (declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory), order, and complexity (simple, complex, compound)
expand or reduce sentences by adding or deleting modifiers, phrases, or combining sentences
use appropriate capitalization in written work
recognize the difference between primary and secondary sources
identify and use subjects (simple and compound), pronouns, predicates (simple and compound), modifiers (words and prepositional phrases), adjectives and adverbs and recognize that a word performs different functions according to its position in the sentence

use and recognize correct punctuation, including semicolons, apostrophes, and quotation marks
Math
find multiples and factors
read, write, order and compare place value of decimal fractions
multiply and divide with decimal fractions to include decimal fractions less than one and greater than one
use words, pictures and/or numbers to show that the relationships and rules for multiplication and division of whole numbers also applies to decimal fractions
use words, pictures and/or numbers to show that division of whole numbers can be represented as a fraction (a/b = a ˜ b)
