How this list was compiled: Written for this page: questions for a child to answer in one full sentence that begins by turning the question around, each stored with the start of that sentence and a gap where the child's own answer goes. One set asks about the child, where any true answer is right; the other asks about everyday things a second grader knows. No fact is printed: the child supplies the answer and the key shows only how the sentence begins. Checked 2026-10-02. No person, brand, character or named method is on the sheet. Licence: own work

How it works

Each sheet draws 6 questions from our own bank, with lines under each. The child answers in a full sentence that turns the question around: What do spiders spin? Spiders spin webs.

Read the full guide

Two sets

Set picks one. About you asks things only the child knows, so every true answer is right: Where is your coziest reading spot? About the world asks about everyday things: Why do people use umbrellas? The key prints how each sentence starts, with a gap for the child's own ending: My coziest reading spot is ___.

Your own questions

Type one question a line, an equals sign, then the start of the answer for the key: Where do penguins live? = Penguins live. Your lines replace ours, so the sheet can ask about the book or the lesson of the day.

Questions and answers

What does restating the question mean?

It means starting the answer with words from the question, so the answer is a full sentence that makes sense without the question beside it. Asked What do spiders spin?, the child writes Spiders spin webs, not just webs.

Which set suits a 2nd grade class best?

About you needs no fact, so the child can think only about the shape of the sentence, and you becomes I.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. It prints as the last page and shows how each sentence starts. The ending is the child's own, so the key cannot mark it. To leave it off, uncheck Add an answer key as the last page under More options.
