While preparing the English booklet/worksheets,
kindly consider the following:
1. Choose content that is age-appropriate. Challenge the students occasionally,
but ensure it remains suitable for their age.
2. Select content that is appealing to students—topics they find interesting and
enjoyable.
3. Ensure the content aligns with our culture and beliefs. Avoid material that
includes intimate pictures or addresses topics controversial to our society.
4. Vary your questions to cover different aspects:
o Direct questions (e.g., Who, When, What, Which, etc.).
o Synonym and Antonym questions.
o Figures of Speech and Sound Devices questions.
o Opinion questions: Encourage students, starting from Grade 1, to
express their opinions about a character or behavior.
o Punctuation questions: These can ask students to punctuate or
explain why a punctuation mark is used.
▪ For example:
▪ Capitalization is used for proper nouns.
▪ Commas are used to separate items in a list.
o Grammar and structure questions: Ask about different grammar
lessons that have been covered (e.g., sentences, tenses, verb forms,
parts of speech, affixes, phrases, clauses, etc.).
o Table-filling questions: Ask students to extract information from the
text.
▪ For example: Fill in the fact file from the text.
o Purpose questions: Ask about the purpose of the text or paragraph.
▪ For example:
▪ The purpose of an informational text is to provide facts
about a certain topic.
▪ The purpose of a conclusion paragraph is to sum up the
text and provide a clear closing.
o Narrator questions: Identify the narrator's perspective/ opinion (e.g.,
first, second, or third person).
o Explain in your own words: Ask students to interpret (explain) the
meaning of a phrase or sentence.
o Description questions: Focus on the description of a character or
setting.
o Feeling questions: Explore characters' feelings toward an event or
experience.
o Comparison questions: Compare elements, such as characters,
settings, or ideas.
5. Play with words in your questions (extract, find, spot, identify, etc…)
Don’t always ask the questions the same way.
Best of luck!
