Questions about Reasons and Facts
What does the Reasons and Facts worksheet cover?
It practises telling a reason apart from a fact — 2 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core RI.K.8: Find the reason the writer gives for something they said. 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 Reasons and Facts practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.8 — RI.K.8, in the Reading: Informational Text domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “With prompting and support, identify the reasons an author gives to support points in a text.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Reasons and Facts is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on RI.K.8, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Reasons and Facts 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 Reasons and Facts 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 Reasons and Facts free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Reasons and Facts, 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.
