A "benchmark" is a level or accomplishment .That the child can read a certain level and can do certain things within that level as part of the reading process. There are many things that happen within reading beyond just reading. Is the child understanding inference? Do they analyze character traits? These are just some of the things that are involved in the reading process. Each benchmark has these things for the teacher to check off that the child knows how to do, but if they can't do these things they have not completed the benchmark. That is how as teachers we know that a child knows what they are suppose to know.
