This Grade 8 reading skills worksheet, “Mastering Textual Evidence,” helps students strengthen analysis by identifying and citing evidence directly from texts. It targets four core literacy skills, each with clear explanations, examples, and guided practice passages:

  • Explicit Evidence (RI.8.1): Locating information stated directly in the text.

  • Making Inferences (RI.8.1): Using text clues and prior knowledge to understand implied meaning.

  • Analyzing Author’s Purpose (RI.8.1): Determining whether a text aims to inform, persuade, entertain, or explain.

  • Comparing Texts (RI.8.1): Identifying similarities and differences in ideas or perspectives across passages.

A complete answer key with model responses and supporting evidence is included.
