Explore 6th Grade Claim and Evidence Passages

Claim and evidence skills form the foundation of analytical thinking in Grade 6 English education, requiring students to identify author arguments and evaluate the supporting details that strengthen those positions. Reading comprehension activities focused on this critical concept guide students through carefully selected nonfiction passages where they must distinguish between claims and the evidence used to support them. These text-based questions develop students' ability to recognize when authors make assertions, understand how factual information backs up those assertions, and think critically about the strength of the relationship between claims and their supporting evidence. Students engage with reading passages that challenge them to move beyond surface-level understanding and demonstrate deeper analytical skills essential for academic success.
