About this worksheet

Informational reading asks children to locate facts and ask useful questions about a topic. First graders may answer from background knowledge instead of the words on the page, especially when the subject is familiar. This worksheet keeps the texts short and factual, printed once above the questions that use them, then asks students to match a question to the detail that answers it, identify another key detail, and decide which statement is not supported.

The work fills the explicit RI. 1. 1 expectation for asking and answering questions about key details in a text. Support versions use the shortest texts in the pool. Standard and challenge texts add more facts to track. Ask children to point to the words that prove the answer before choosing.

What your child will learn

  • Ask questions about nonfiction
  • Answer from text evidence
  • Find key details
