Pages 1 to 5 each hold a short text with its questions. Pages 1 to 3 ask what the whole text and each paragraph or part is about; pages 4 and 5 ask who, what, where, when, why and how. Page 6 works with any nonfiction text. Pages 7 and 8 are a listen and answer pair: read page 7 aloud, then hand out page 8, which has the questions without the text.
Number the paragraphs together before reading pages 1 and 2. After each paragraph, ask "What is this part mostly about?" and have children say it in a few words. On page 6, partners can trade texts and check each other's answers.
Read a text together. Ask your child to tell you in one sentence what it is all about, then ask a who, what, where, when, why or how question of your own.
Short texts about owls, sea otters, penguins, honeybees and sea turtles, written at a 2nd grade level. Children find what a whole text and each of its paragraphs is about, and answer who, what, where, when, why and how questions about its key details.
