Questions people ask

What is on this story comprehension: early worksheet?

A printable story comprehension: early worksheet with a title, a name and date line, and the instruction "Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions below it" above the questions. Every question is generated when you open the sheet, so no two printouts have to be the same.

What grade is this story comprehension: early worksheet for?

It is written for Grade 1 to Grade 2, but the difficulty is a setting rather than a fixed level. You can make the same story comprehension: early worksheet easier or harder before you print it, which is what makes it usable with a mixed group.

Can I get a different worksheet with the same questions type?

Yes. Every sheet is built from a seed, so generating again gives you a fresh set of questions at the same difficulty. You can also make versions A, B, C and D of one worksheet for a class, so nobody is copying their neighbour.

Is there an answer key?

Yes, on its own page. The answers are worked out from the questions themselves rather than stored separately, so the key always matches the sheet in front of you, including after you regenerate it.

How do I print or download the story comprehension: early worksheet?

Open the worksheet, then choose PDF, PNG or Print. The PDF is laid out for Letter or A4 at whichever margins you set, so what you see on screen is what comes out of the printer. There is also an ink saver mode that drops the heavy fills.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

It is free and you do not need an account to make, print or download a worksheet. An account only exists so you can save a sheet and come back to it later.
