Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: matching question words to information in a text

1

Read a short page. Write one who question.

2

Answer your who question from the text.

3

Write one where question and answer it.

4

Write one when or what question and answer it.

5

Circle the question word that asks for a reason: why, who, or where.

6

Ask an adult one new question about the text and check whether it can be answered.

Grown-up guide
  1. Start with a text that contains clear people, places, or actions.
  2. Read each question word aloud and explain it with a quick example.
  3. Let the child dictate a question, then help locate the answer together.
