Text Evidence Detective Citing to Support Answers

This Grade 4 teaching aid helps students become reading detectives by learning how to find and use text evidence to support their answers. Through detective-style missions, learners practice spotting important clues in stories, using “magic words” to introduce evidence, and writing stronger responses. The guide introduces fun strategies like the Evidence Burger and the Quote Sandwich, showing students how to combine claims, proof, and explanations into complete answers. With worksheets, templates, and practice cases, students build reading comprehension, critical thinking, and writing skills that prepare them for middle school success.
