About this worksheet
Text evidence work asks third graders to prove an answer with words from the passage, not just remember a detail. Students may choose a true-sounding answer from background knowledge or stop after finding one interesting fact. This worksheet makes the citation step explicit. Students choose the sentence that should be cited, connect quoted evidence to an answer, reject unsupported claims, and explain how a detail proves a response. The passages are short enough to reread, but the questions require students to refer back to exact language. Encourage your child to point to the proof before choosing. If the answer cannot be tied to a sentence in the text, it is not strong evidence. That habit supports RI.3.1 and prepares students for longer written responses.
