Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Their wings are made of thin skin stretched between long finger bones.
Most bats come out at night. They find their way by making high squeaks. The squeaks bounce off things and come back. The bat listens to the echo and knows what is ahead.
Many bats eat insects. One small bat can eat a thousand insects in a night.
1. When do most bats come out?
2. What would a diagram of a bat need to label?
3. What are a bat's wings made of?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.
Owls
Owls hunt at night. Their eyes are very large, so they can see when there is almost no light.
An owl's feathers have soft edges. This makes their wings quiet. A mouse cannot hear an owl coming.
Owls cannot move their eyes from side to side. Instead, they turn their whole head. An owl can turn its head much further than you can.

Questions about Read the Labels
What does the Read the Labels worksheet cover?
It practises saying what a diagram would have to label — 2 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core RI.1.7: Use the pictures and details together to explain the main ideas. The instruction to pupils is “Read the text, then answer the questions”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Read the Labels practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.7 — RI.1.7, in the Reading: Informational Text domain for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Use the illustrations and details in a text to describe its key ideas.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Read the Labels is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on RI.1.7, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Read the Labels come with an answer key?
Yes. All 2 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 Read the Labels can I print?
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Is Read the Labels free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Read the Labels, 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.
