Questions about Choose the Right Register
What does the Choose the Right Register worksheet cover?
It practises matching how formal a piece of writing is to its reader — 8 questions for Grade 2, all on Common Core W.2.6: Use digital tools, with help, to write and publish with others. The instruction to pupils is “Tick the right answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Choose the Right Register practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.2.6 — W.2.6, in the Writing domain for Grade 2. The published standard reads: “With guidance and support from adults, use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in collaboration with peers.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Choose the Right Register is written for Grade 2, typically ages 7-8. It is one of the sheets on W.2.6, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Choose the Right Register come with an answer key?
Yes. All 8 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 Register 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 Choose the Right Register free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Choose the Right Register, 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.
