Questions about What the Picture Shows

What does the What the Picture Shows worksheet cover?

It practises matching a picture to the part of the text it shows — 2 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core RI.K.7: Say what a picture in a fact book is showing you. 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 What the Picture Shows practise?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.7 — RI.K.7, in the Reading: Informational Text domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts).” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

What the Picture Shows is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on RI.K.7, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does What the Picture Shows 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 What the Picture Shows can I print?

25 versions, of which 20 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 What the Picture Shows free to print and photocopy?

Yes. What the Picture Shows, 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.

Is there a lesson plan to teach RI.K.7?
