Evidence-Based Reading and Writing refers to a method of teaching and assessing literacy skills that emphasizes the use of evidence from texts. This approach encourages students to read closely, analyze information, and support their ideas with specific examples from the material they engage with. It aims to develop critical thinking and comprehension skills. In standardized testing, such as the SAT, students are often required to demonstrate their ability to interpret texts and construct well-supported arguments. This focus on evidence helps prepare learners for academic and real-world situations where clear communication and analytical skills are essential.
