Reading Response: Find the Evidence

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: returning to text or pictures for evidence

1

Read a short page and answer one who, what, or where question.

2

Underline the words that helped you answer.

3

Draw a box around a picture clue that also helps.

4

Finish: I know this because ___.

5

Answer a second question using a different clue.

6

Tell an adult whether your answer came from words, a picture, or both.

Grown-up guide
  1. Read the question before rereading the page so the search has a purpose.
  2. Treat an illustration as evidence only when it clearly supports the question.
  3. Ask the child to point first, then copy or dictate a short clue.
