Questions about Choose the Right Word

What does the Choose the Right Word worksheet cover?

It practises choosing the word that makes a sentence work — 6 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core SL.1.6: Answer in a full sentence rather than a single word. The instruction to pupils is “Finish each sentence”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Choose the Right Word practise?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.1.6 — SL.1.6, in the Speaking & Listening domain for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Choose the Right Word is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on SL.1.6, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Choose the Right Word come with an answer key?

Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Choose the Right Word can I print?

25 versions, of which 24 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two pupils still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.

Is Choose the Right Word free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Choose the Right Word, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
