Set 1 of 25 · the same problems every time you open this link.
Nana let Ada make the bread on her own for the first time.
Ada measured the flour, the salt and the water. She kneaded the dough until her arms ached. Then she covered the bowl and waited.
An hour later the dough sat in the bowl exactly as she had left it. It had not risen at all.
Nana looked at the packet on the shelf. "You used the salt twice," she said. "There is no yeast in it."
Ada wanted to throw the bowl across the kitchen. Instead she washed it out and started again.
1. What did Ada do at the end?
2. Which words show Ada worked hard?
3. What was Ada making?
4. Which sentence shows how angry Ada was?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.
Rain on the Roof
Rain on the roof, rain on the road,
rain on the back of a slow brown toad.
Rain on the window, rain on the pane,
rain on the roses, rain, rain, rain.
Rain in the gutter, rain in the drain,
rain till the puddle is deep as a lane.
Rain on the roof, rain on the road —
and out comes the sun for the slow brown toad.
1. Which words rhyme with "road"?
2. Where does the rain fall in the third verse?
3. What comes out at the end of the poem?
4. What animal is in this poem?

Questions about Read and Reread
What does the Read and Reread worksheet cover?
It practises rereading a text closely enough to answer across it — 2 questions for Grade 2, all on Common Core RF.2.4: Read Grade 2 text smoothly and with expression, and reread when it stops making sense. 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 and Reread practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.2.4 — RF.2.4, in the Reading: Foundational Skills domain for Grade 2. The published standard reads: “Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Read and Reread is written for Grade 2, typically ages 7-8. It is one of the sheets on RF.2.4, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Read and Reread 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 and Reread 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 and Reread free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Read and Reread, 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.
