About this resource
Description
Good readers ask questions about what they read, and the first step is knowing which question word to use. This asking questions about a text worksheet helps kindergarten students practice the question words who, what, where, and when. Children read a short sentence, then choose the word that starts a question about it.
Each of the four cards shows one simple sentence, such as a little bird singing a song or a green frog sitting on a log. Under the sentence is a question with its first word missing and two word choices. Students circle the question word that makes a real question the sentence can answer. Read the sentences aloud for early readers, or let confident readers work on their own. Use this asking questions about a text worksheet during guided reading, as a small group activity, or as quick practice at home.
What’s Included
- Four question cards, each with a short sentence to read
- Two large word choices for each question: who, what, where, or when
- Big, clear print sized for kindergarten readers
- A complete answer key
3 Reasons This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Question words made clear: children see that who asks about an animal or person, where asks about a place, what asks about a thing, and when asks about a time.
- Reading with a purpose: every answer comes from the sentence on the card, so students go back to the text.
- Confidence for young readers: short sentences and two choices keep the task friendly and doable.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After each card, ask the finished question out loud and have your child answer it from the sentence. Then read a favorite picture book together and take turns asking who, what, where, and when questions about the story. This kindergarten question words worksheet also makes a nice warm-up before a read-aloud.
