Evidence is proof or facts that support an answer. Sequence means the order of events, and infer means to figure something out using clues. These words are important because they help students understand texts and answer questions with more detail.

When practicing 6th grade vocabulary words, it helps to focus on meaning, not just memorizing definitions. Students can use each word in a sentence, group related words together, or look for the word in reading passages. A short daily review works better than trying to learn too many words at once. Start with a small set, use them in context, and add more once the first group feels familiar.
