Textual Evidence Worksheets for Grade 6 ELA Instruction Looking to reinforce CCSS RI.6.1 standards on citing textual evidence to support analysis of what a text says explicitly or implicitly? This teaching resource contains 5 printable worksheets to help grade 6 students practice this critical reading comprehension skill. With varied informational passages and accompanying questions, these supplemental materials are designed for whole class or small group instruction, or can be assigned to students for independent practice. As students read each passage, they will underline key details and write short responses citing the text to support their answers. Using the included answer key, teachers can easily assess student understanding of citing evidence from informational texts. This resource covers a key component of literacy as outlined in the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

  • Cite details from an informational passage when answering comprehension questions

  • Sequence events described in a historical account

  • Evaluate statements against a source text

  • Use the checking section after evidence locations have been discussed, not as a substitute for citing the text.

Skills covered

  • Textual evidence — responses are supported with information located in the assigned passage.
