Check understanding

  • Identify a relevant quotation to support an inference about a character's feelings
  • Explain why one piece of evidence is stronger than another for supporting a claim
  • Use embedded quotations in a written response to back up an analytical point
“When your child makes a point about a text in class or in writing, do they back it up with a specific quote or reference — and can they explain whether that evidence strongly supports their point or only weakly?”
