  • πŸ“ Why is it Important? It shows you understand what you're reading and can explain your thinking using facts.
  • πŸ’‘ Where to Find It: Look for specific details, examples, quotes, or statistics in the text.
  • πŸ”‘ Keywords: Pay attention to signal words like 'for example,' 'according to,' 'the text states,' or 'in the passage.' These often lead to supporting evidence.
  • βœ… How to Use It: When answering questions, always refer back to the text. Quote the exact words or paraphrase (explain in your own words) what the text says.
