About this worksheet

Information texts tell true facts about a topic, and a first grader learns to read them for the main topic and for key details. On this worksheet your child reads a short text, three sentences about bees, penguins, trees, rain, sleep or the moon, and answers five questions about it, one about what the whole text is about and four about details in it.

The text is printed once above its five questions, so the child has it in front of them. Each version uses a different text. Support, standard and challenge sheets use different texts. Read the text out loud together, then answer: look back at the text for each answer instead of guessing.

What your child will learn

  • Find what an information text is mostly about
  • Find a key detail in the text
  • Look back at the text for an answer
  • Read short texts about animals, plants and weather
