074: How to Teach Your Students to Use Text Evidence

The Teach Joyfully Podcast

Using text evidence is a skill all students should have to effectively talk about a text and explain their thinking. Yes, even in primary grades! Bold words but true nonetheless.

Let me ask you this...How often do your students answer a question about a character, the setting or something about a text and they don’t know why or how they came to that conclusion? They have NO text evidence to support their thinking.

What about this one...Do you have students who have no idea where to find evidence in a text or even what text evidence is?

And one more...Does the idea of teaching your students to use evidence from the text to support their answers seem daunting?

Well, guess what? Being a story detective and learning to find and use text evidence is actually really simple and can be lots of fun.
