| 00:01 | finding text evidence from the Axelsson Academy reading Informational text | |
| 00:06 | standard eight with prompting and support . Identify the reasons | |
| 00:10 | and author gives to support points in a text . | |
| 00:14 | There are two items to note as we address standard | |
| 00:17 | eight at the kindergarten level . First , students do | |
| 00:20 | not need to master this standard independently . Kindergartners will | |
| 00:25 | need plenty of support as you guide them through determining | |
| 00:28 | what point the author is making in the text and | |
| 00:31 | then locating the supporting reasons the author gifts . You | |
| 00:35 | should be certain that you choose texts that are set | |
| 00:38 | up , so the reasons air structured in a very | |
| 00:41 | recognizable manner . I love guinea pigs by Dick King | |
| 00:46 | Smith is a great choice to model . How to | |
| 00:50 | find text evidence . In this text , the author | |
| 00:53 | makes about six assertions regarding guinea pigs , including that | |
| 00:57 | guinea pigs air cute , sensible and hardy . Each | |
| 01:01 | point is clearly stated and then followed by multiple reasons | |
| 01:05 | why the author believes this . Structurally , the text | |
| 01:09 | is set up , so a point is made and | |
| 01:12 | is followed by support about every two pages . I | |
| 01:15 | would begin by doing a cold Orel reading of the | |
| 01:18 | text without discussing background knowledge or the way we will | |
| 01:22 | be using it to find text evidence in the class | |
| 01:25 | . Then , because of the structure provided in the | |
| 01:28 | text , I would use this book over the course | |
| 01:31 | of a week , reading a couple of pages again | |
| 01:34 | and pulling out text evidence each day . A dense | |
| 01:38 | picture book like this one meets the text complexity requirements | |
| 01:42 | and deserves more than a cursory reading for our purposes | |
| 01:48 | . I have separated out the main points of the | |
| 01:50 | text and the supporting details given by the author . | |
| 01:54 | Guinea pigs are cute . They are chunky and chubby | |
| 01:57 | , cuddly , come in different colors and can be | |
| 02:00 | long haired or short haired . When actually doing this | |
| 02:05 | with the class , I would include pictures as support | |
| 02:08 | for the beginning readers . Often I just sketch a | |
| 02:11 | supporting illustration for a keyword to put beside the reason | |
| 02:15 | . As a reminder to the student , some teachers | |
| 02:18 | give a student a post it note and ask the | |
| 02:20 | student to illustrate the evidence and add it to the | |
| 02:24 | classes . Information . Other key points for which the | |
| 02:29 | author provides text evidence include that guinea pigs are sensible | |
| 02:32 | . They're not fussy . They like nice warm temperatures | |
| 02:36 | and a dry place to live guinea pigs are hardy | |
| 02:40 | . They don't usually get sick and can live for | |
| 02:43 | ah , fairly long time for small animals 5 to | |
| 02:46 | 8 years and guinea pigs have cute babies . They | |
| 02:50 | are born with fur and teeth and have their eyes | |
| 02:53 | open right away . They look like miniature guinea pigs | |
| 02:56 | with very big feet . Here I've added the picture | |
| 02:59 | cues I might include for kindergarten students purposefully finding text | |
| 03:06 | evidence throughout the kindergarten year will build a foundation for | |
| 03:10 | a persuasive and argumentative writing . Students will develop an | |
| 03:14 | understanding of well structured writing as they look for this | |
| 03:18 | text evidence . This has been finding text evidence from | |
| 03:23 | the Axelsson Academy . |
