In an era of abundant information, teaching students early to question whether a statement is provable or personal builds critical reading and media literacy.

Opinion signal words include 'I believe,' 'in my opinion,' 'should,' 'always,' 'never,' 'best,' and 'worst' — recognizing these helps students classify statements quickly.
