The PROVE strategy

The same five steps on every question, so students always know what to do next. Introduce it to your class with the Strategy Intro.

  1. Preview
    Read the questions first, mark the key words, and build a PAT list of what to pay attention to.
    Why it mattersStudents stop reading for everything and start reading for something. The PAT list is your first look at whether they understood what each question asks.
    What it shows you The PAT list each student wrote for every question, and a class trend when PATs are vague or off-topic.
  2. Read
    Read the passage with purpose, highlighting only what connects to the PAT list.
    Why it mattersAnnotation becomes targeted instead of decorative, and every highlight ties back to a question you can see later.
    What it shows you Most-Highlighted Text: the lines the class marked most, plus each student’s highlights on their paper.
  3. Omit
    Label every choice before picking one: R for ridiculous, D for distractor.
    Why it mattersIt slows the impulse to guess and makes students say why a tempting choice does not work. Their labels show you which distractors pulled them in.
    What it shows you Every R and D label on each paper, and the Most-chosen distractor: the answer that pulled the most students in.
  4. Verify
    Copy the exact words from the passage that prove the answer.
    Why it mattersThis is the step students cannot fake. If they cannot find the words, they do not have the answer yet.
    What it shows you The exact words each student quoted, checked against the proof as gold evidence or a common trap.
  5. Explain
    In one or two sentences, connect the evidence to the answer.
    Why it mattersThinking becomes visible. You see why a student missed a question, not only that they missed it.
    What it shows you Each student’s reasoning. When several match the thinking behind the same trap, the report calls it a confirmed reteach moment.

Every step also gets its own bar in the class report’s PROVE Step Completion, and the lowest one becomes Coach next. Gold, vague and trap checks run on tests that carry an answer key, which includes the library tests.
