In Early Childhood Education there are no educational shifts, since these students are still learning how to read and interpret texts.  They are building knowledge through content rich non-fiction and informational text. In third grade the teacher starts to touch upon an educational shift, when the student has to find evidence from the text, which they previously did not have to do.

The shift occurs when the students are reading to learn, instead of learning to read.
