About this resource

Description

Asking questions is one of the very first comprehension habits a young reader builds, and a picture is the easiest place to start. This Asking Questions About Pictures Worksheet hands first graders a bright, full-color scene and asks them to look closely, notice the key details, and answer four questions about what they see. Because every answer lives in the illustration instead of in a block of text, students who are still working on decoding can practice the thinking skill all on its own: noticing who is there, what is happening, where the scene takes place, and how many of something they can count.

This first grade asking questions worksheet is a two-page printable that needs no preparation. Page one holds the illustrated garden scene, four fill-in-the-bubble questions built on the words who, what, where, and how many, and two handwriting lines where students turn the task around and write a question of their own. Page two is the answer key. Use it as a warm-up before a read-aloud, as an independent center during guided reading, or as a quick check that students can find evidence before they are asked to find it in print.

What’s Included

  • One full-color illustrated scene built for close looking
  • Four fill-in-the-bubble questions using who, what, where, and how many
  • Two solid handwriting lines for a student-written question
  • A complete answer key, including a sample student question
  • A print-ready PDF sized for standard letter paper

Three reasons this helps kids. First, it separates comprehension from decoding, so a student who is still sounding out words can still show strong thinking. Second, the fill-in-the-bubble format gives young students practice with the answer style they will meet on early reading assessments. Third, writing their own question moves students from answering to asking, which is the step that turns passive readers into curious ones.

Teachers and parents can stretch the Asking Questions About Pictures Worksheet further in a few easy ways. Have partners trade papers and answer each other’s written questions out loud. Cover the choices and ask students to answer question three by counting aloud first. Project the picture and collect a class list of who, what, where, when, why, and how questions on chart paper. Then repeat the routine with a photograph from your own classroom library so students see that the strategy travels to any picture, and any book.
