Reading Evidence Lab • Grades 6-12

Evidence Detective

Make the analysis. Build the proof. Know the limit.

Investigate original literary and informational texts. Match an analysis to exact evidence, then explain why the proof works. The expectations change with the grade band—from citing evidence to weighing the strongest proof and identifying uncertainty.

1. Choose a grade band

2. Choose text type

RL.6.1 + RI.6.1

3. Choose a practice mode

Mixed sessions use five cases; focused literature or informational sessions use three. Mastery mode reserves the final case as an uncoached transfer challenge. Results are sent to the parent TutorsLit page through a standard postMessage event when embedded.
