What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use who, what, where, when, why, and how to ask for information aloud. They choose a question word that matches what they want to learn.

What Mastery Looks Like

Given a picture or situation, the student independently asks a relevant question using the right question word. The question is clear and asks for the expected kind of information.

Common Misconceptions

Students may raise their voice at the end of a statement instead of using a question word. They may mix up who and where or say fragments like "Where dog?"

How to Assess It

Show a playground picture and say, "Ask me one who question and one where question about this picture." Listen for the correct opening words and complete spoken questions.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Place objects in a mystery bag, then have students pull one and ask a partner a question using a question-word card.

  2. Pause during a read-aloud and ask, "What would you like to know about this character?" Students share one spoken question.

  3. Play Question Word Toss with a cube labeled who, what, where, when, why, and how, then ask a matching question.

  4. Role-play meeting a new classmate, with students asking three questions to learn the person's name, interests, and favorite place.
