What children learn in Level 48

When we want to know something, we ask a question. Question words help us ask.
Who asks about a person. Who is at the door? Grandpa!
What asks about a thing. Where asks about a place. When asks about a time.
Why asks for a reason. How asks the way to do something.
An asking sentence ends with a question mark. A telling sentence ends with a period. A sentence with a big feeling ends with an exclamation mark.
Try it with a grown-up! Take turns asking questions that start with who, what, where, when, why, and how.
