Make inferences and use text evidence to support understanding.
The intent of 5.6F is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Inferences & Evidence.
For Grade 5, this standard focuses on Inferences & Evidence and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 5.6F.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 5.6F.
Standard 5.6F describes the essential skills and understandings for Inferences & Evidence in Grade 5. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Inferences & Evidence, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
