Questions from What I Read

Questions from What I Read Worksheet (Grade 3 Science, TEKS 3.1A)

Scientists get ideas from reading, too. The standard asks students to ask questions from information in a text, a part that is easy to skip. Simple black-and-white doodles and big, easy-to-read text keep the focus on the thinking, not the reading.

What's Inside

• A Read, Find a Fact, Ask strip
• A three-fact snail card in simple sentences
• Part A: underline how a snail moves and box when snails come out
• Part B: circle the question that helps us find out more, not one the card already answers
• A visual answer key with answers marked in red, plus a short teacher note

How Teachers Use It

Use it as a mini-lesson follow-up, a quick check, or a center. It takes 5 to 8 minutes, needs no prior knowledge, and prints clearly in black and white. The focus skill is asking questions from information in a text.

This worksheet is part of a grade 3 science series for TEKS 3.1A: ask questions and define problems based on observations or information from text, phenomena, models, or investigations. The series moves step by step from noticing with the senses to wondering, asking science questions, asking questions from text, and planning an investigation, with a vocabulary review at the end.

Why It Works

Each sheet teaches the idea first with a worked example, then asks students to use only what the page taught. Every activity has a done-for-you example, and students only circle, check, match, or number, so they can finish on their own. Wrong choices are believable, not silly, so students have to think.
