Questions about Refer to Details and Examples
What does the Refer to Details and Examples worksheet cover?
It practices matching a conclusion to the detail that supports it — 2 questions for Grade 4, all on Common Core RL.4.1: Back up both what the text says and what it implies with details. The instruction to students is “Write the letter of the match next to each one”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Refer to Details and Examples practice?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.1 — RL.4.1, under Reading: Literature for Grade 4. The published standard reads: “Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Refer to Details and Examples is written for Grade 4, typically ages 9-10. It is one of the sheets on RL.4.1, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Refer to Details and Examples come with an answer key?
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Refer to Details and Examples can I print?
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Is Refer to Details and Examples free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Refer to Details and Examples, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
