Free chart literacy teacher resource

Free Question vs. Evidence Check

Help students decide whether the chart contains the evidence needed for the question.

A one-page check for separating the question, chart evidence, missing information, and careful conclusion.

Classroom use

Use it as a small routine inside the chart work you already teach.

This resource is connected to the Teaching Guide, but it is intentionally compact enough for planning, discussion, assessment review, or a next-day classroom move.

  • compare the question with the chart evidence
  • identify missing information
  • practice careful "we cannot tell" conclusions
  • avoid unsupported causal claims
  • turn uncertainty into a next evidence question
