About this resource
Description
The Asking Questions Assessment Worksheet helps Kindergarten teachers track how their students use questions during the school day. Young children ask questions for different reasons: to get help, to find out new information, or to clear up something they did not understand. Noticing which reasons each child uses shows you who is ready to speak up and who still needs a nudge.
This asking questions assessment worksheet is a one-page teacher record for the whole class. List your students down the left side. As you listen during centers, read-alouds, small groups or play, write the date in the Help, Information or Clarify column each time a child asks that kind of question, then jot down an example of what they asked. A short legend of sample question starters at the top keeps your coding the same from week to week.
What’s Included
- Class, Week of and Activity lines to label each observation period
- A “Why Did They Ask?” legend with sample questions for Help, Information and Clarify
- A class record table with fifteen student rows and a column for each question purpose
- A What They Asked column for quick anecdotal notes
Why This Record Helps Kids
- It shows at a glance which children ask questions and which ones stay quiet, so you can invite every voice.
- Sorting questions by purpose helps you see when a child only asks for help and never asks to learn more.
- Written examples give you real evidence for report cards and parent conferences.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use one asking questions class record per week or per unit and keep the pages in a binder to watch growth over time. Model each kind of question during a read-aloud before you begin observing. Parents and homeschool families can use the same page at home during story time, a nature walk or a cooking project. When you notice a child who rarely asks to clarify, practice the sentence starter “What does that mean?” together.
