        Summarizing and Inferencing Are Hard to Teach — and Even Harder to Assess With Real Rigor.
      </h2>
      <p style="font-size:17px; margin:0 0 32px;">
        This isn't a worksheet where kiddos skim a passage and land on one right answer by accident. Every question across all three nonfiction passages is engineered so that every wrong answer choice has a reason a kiddo might pick it — which means the answer key can actually tell you why they missed it.
