Choose a learning activity. Practice contains reviewed questions; Test contains 16 separate questions.

Unit focus

  • A strong response names a preference, gives a reason and refers to a feature of the text such as a character, image, event, word choice or ending.
  • Use this routine: State opinion → Give reason → Point to evidence → Conclude.
  • Watch for only stating a preference: Add because and explain a specific text feature.
