It also touches RL.2.2, retelling a story and finding its central message. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. Finished a sheet?

Tips for parents
- Read the questions aloud for early readers, and let them point to the answer in the pictures or text.
- If an answer is wrong, send your child back to the text rather than giving the answer.
- Ask your child to underline the sentence that proves each answer. Finding evidence is the real skill.
