Questions about Reading One Source

What does the Reading One Source worksheet cover?

It practises gathering information from a source — 2 questions for Kindergarten to Grade 2, all on Common Core D3.1.K-2: Gather what you need from one or two sources, choosing them for a reason. The instruction to pupils is “Look at the source, then answer the questions”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

D3.1.K-2 — D3.1.K-2, in the Evaluating Sources and Using Evidence domain for Kindergarten to Grade 2. The published standard reads: “Gather relevant information from one or two sources while using the origin and structure to guide the selection.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

Does Reading One Source 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 Reading One Source 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.
