Text Dependent Analysis Training
CADRE 2
What is the Text-Dependent Analysis (TDA) on the ELA PSSA?
The Text-dependent Analysis (TDA) is an ELA college and career ready item on the grades 4-8 PSSA. It is aligned to the writing standard which expects students in grades 3-8 to “draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research, applying grade-level reading standards for literature and literary non-fiction”. Students are expected to construct a well-written essay to communicate their inferences and their connection to the evidence, drawing a conclusion aligned to the prompt to demonstrate analysis of the text. Therefore, there are 3 underlying components of a TDA: (1) reading comprehension; (2) analysis; and (3) essay writing.
