Grade 1 Informational Questions Worksheet

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, then asks students to match a question to the detail that answers it, identify evidence, 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 pages use two direct sentences. Standard and challenge pages add topics from science and social studies, but the answer is still findable in the passage. Ask children to point to the words that prove the answer before choosing.
