Questions about Listen to Facts and Answer
What does the Listen to Facts and Answer worksheet cover?
It practices picking out the key detail in a message you hear — 8 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core SL.1.2: Answer questions about something read aloud to you. The instruction to students is “Listen to each one read aloud, then circle the right answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Listen to Facts and Answer practice?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.1.2 — SL.1.2, under Speaking & Listening for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Ask and answer questions about key details in a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Listen to Facts and Answer is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on SL.1.2, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Listen to Facts and Answer 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 Listen to Facts and Answer can I print?
25 — one per student, 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.
