Questions about Describing Words

What does the Describing Words worksheet cover?

It practices choosing the word that describes — 8 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core L.K.1: Use nouns, verbs and question words correctly when you speak and write. The instruction to students is “Choose the word from the box that makes sense”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Describing Words practice?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.1 — L.K.1, under Language for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Describing Words is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on L.K.1, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Describing Words 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 Describing Words 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.

Is Describing Words free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Describing Words, 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.
