About this worksheet

What this worksheet practices
RI.1.1 · Common Core English Language Arts · Grade 1
Reading: Informational Text · Key ideas and details
Children work on reading closely, asking and answering questions about the text, and pointing to the details that show the answer.
RI.1.5 · Common Core English Language Arts · Grade 1
Reading: Informational Text · Craft and structure
Children work on understanding how a text is built — its parts, sections and text features.
How to use this worksheet
- 1
Do "The Magic of Silent E" with a pencil in hand: have your child write the word without the e, read it, then add the e and read it again. Hearing the vowel change themselves is what makes the rule stick.
- 2
Read each passage twice. Once for the story, once for the questions. Almost every first-grade comprehension error comes from answering after a single read.
- 3
Do not skip the non-fiction passage. Informational text is roughly half of what is assessed from first grade onward and is the kind children get least practice with at home.
- 4
For "Capital Letters and End Marks", use your child's own writing as the follow-up exercise. Correcting their sentence teaches more than correcting a stranger's.
