Answering Different Types of Questions

Be Ready for Any Question

You might be asked to find details, make predictions, or explain your thinking. Practice answering questions like “who, what, where, when, why, and how” to show you really understand the text.

  • Reread the question before answering.
  • Highlight or underline key words in the text.
  • Give examples from the story in your answers.

Examples

  • Underline the sentence that answers 'Where does the story take place?'

  • Predict what might happen next in a story and explain why.
