What your child practices

Your child reads the passage "Penguins" and answers 12 questions across 2 worksheets, written for 1st grade readers (Grade 1 in Canada). Early readers build comprehension by retelling, spotting key details and talking about what happened, so short passages with simple questions are ideal at this stage. The set includes Reading Comprehension and Fact or Opinion. The skill matches Common Core RI.1.1, the standard for finding key details in a nonfiction text. It also touches RI.1.2, identifying the main topic or main idea of a nonfiction text. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.

Tips for parents

  • Read the questions aloud for early readers, and let them point to the answer in the pictures or text.
  • After the last question, ask for a two sentence retell of "Penguins" in their own words.
  • If an answer is wrong, send your child back to the text rather than giving the answer.
