DIRECTIONS:

1.  Have the students read through the passages multiple times to build fluency

2.  The students use their “detective skills” to locate text evidence that proves the answers and highlight them using different colors.

3.  They circle the question number in the assigned color then highlight the text where the evidence to prove the answer was found.

(My students write the answers with a regular pencil. The answer keys show the answers in color.)

Thank you for your support.
