The questions in Set 3 also go deeper: in addition to direct text evidence, they include inference questions (\"What detail supports the idea that...\") and conclusion questions (\"What can be inferred about...\").

The teaching tips use classroom language, but they translate directly to a one-on-one conversation with a student.
