Do your students know how to adequately show evidence from the text when they are asked? We often take for granted that students automatically know how to do this.

Use my Show Evidence From the Text: Nonfiction Reading Pratice *FREE* resource to help your students! This resource includes a visual aid to help students remember, as well as ONE nonfiction passage with questions to practice citing evidence from the text. Suggested answers for each question (and identification of evidence from the passage) ARE included.

This is the FREE version. To get all THREE of the nonfiction passages and all of the visual aids, you can purchase the full version here:
