Finding Text Evidence

 

In my new position this year as a reading specialist, I am sometimes amazed to see 2nd graders through 6th graders struggling with the same skills! One big skill that my kids need work with is finding textual evidence to support their answers to basic reading comprehension questions.

My kids are bringing in schema and making connections, but they struggle to tie their answers back to the text, which is such an important skill! Now that Common Core has brought an extra emphasis to text evidence, our teachers are really focusing on giving students structured practice defending their answers in the text.

Of course, we eventually want students using clues from the text to infer, analyze, evaluate, and draw conclusions, but many of my students are still struggling with the basics of finding the direct, explicitly stated evidence in the text- so I created this Color-Coding Text Evidence mini-pack.

After trying these out with my students this week, I would LOVE to know what you think- and if they work well for you, monthly sets for the whole year (or bundles!) can be downloaded in my TpT store!
