About this worksheet

First graders participate in shared research and writing projects by asking a focused question, using a simple source, and recording a fact that helps answer the question. The skill is small but important: research is not copying every interesting sentence or writing only personal opinions. This worksheet gives short class inquiry situations and asks children to choose a useful question, match a source to that question, select a fact from the source, and reject an off-topic note. Support pages use familiar classroom topics such as plants and weather. Standard and challenge pages include science and community topics that still have clear evidence. Because young writers usually research with an adult or group, the worksheet focuses on decisions a child can self-check before writing a longer class report.

What your child will learn

  • Ask a focused research question
  • Choose a useful source
  • Record a fact from evidence
