How to use this worksheet
- 1
Ask your child to underline evidence in the text before answering. Fourth grade answers should quote or point to the text.

For the poem and the play, read them aloud together. Structure is easier to notice when you hear it.
- 3
After each passage, ask for a one-sentence summary. It is the quickest check of understanding.
