These are the three magic words that I teach students to use when responding to open-ended questions in reading. The three words - The Text Said - forces students to prove their answer by using evidence from the text. This also shows if the person responding to the question fully read the text and understood what they read. The only way to prove one has understood what they read is by responding orally or in written form and by using evidence from the text. By using the three magic words, it helps students to focus their answers and is a reminder to use information from the text to show understanding.
