How to Use This Pack

Five pages of telling and asking sentences. On three pages children write a period or a question mark in the box at the end of each sentence. On two pages the end mark is there, and children circle telling or asking. Every question starts with Can, Did or Will, so children can find the asking sentences by their first word as well as their end.

In the Classroom

Say a sentence two ways, as telling and as asking: The dog can run. Can the dog run? Let children show a fist for a period and a hooked finger for a question mark as you read each row.

At Home

Take turns: you tell something, your child asks a question about it. Then switch, and talk about which ones were questions.

Tips for Success

  • Read the sentence out loud
  • Does it ask something?
  • Can, did and will often start a question
  • A telling sentence ends with a period
  • Check the answer key
