Free Ask and answer what and who questions Worksheets for Second Grade: english language arts practice for Second Grade

Free Ask and answer what and who questions Worksheets for Second Grade gives children a focused way to practise ask and answer what and who questions. Use Free Ask and answer what and who questions Worksheets for Second Grade as the main page, then continue with the paired lesson when the child needs the same skill in another format.

This page supports reading worksheets by grade and curriculum and fits a visible regional learning path for UAE expat families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain using British, American, IB, and Indian curriculum language. The regional examples are included for parents and teachers, not hidden for bots, so the page stays useful for real visitors.

What children should be able to do

The core task is to understand ask and answer what and who questions, try a small set, and explain one answer. Children may show understanding by reading aloud, marking a clue, counting, drawing a model, correcting a sentence, sorting words, or saying how they know.

For Second Grade learners, the adult should watch the thinking step rather than only the final answer. If the child guesses, reduce the task. If the child answers correctly but cannot explain, repeat with one clearer example.

Short parent routine

Parents can use this page for 10 to 15 minutes. Read the task, model one item, let the child try three to five items, and ask for one explanation. If the child is multilingual, allow a home-language explanation first and then repeat the important school-language phrase.

Start with the easiest item to build confidence.
Use a real object, drawing, sentence frame, or marked clue when the child is stuck.
Stop after one useful correction instead of pushing through a long page.
Return to the same skill after a few days for spaced review.

Teacher and tutor routine

Teachers can use this page as a warm-up, center task, small-group reteach, exit ticket, homework review, or quick diagnostic. Tutors can use it to decide whether the child needs help with vocabulary, directions, memory, handwriting, number sense, or confidence.

Ask partners to compare explanations. Let children point to the clue, sound, number, model, word, or sentence that helped. A short explanation builds stronger retention than a page completed silently.

Regional and curriculum notes

In India, parents may connect this practice to CBSE, ICSE, state-board, LKG, UKG, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 expectations. In the US, the same skill may appear in kindergarten, first grade, second grade, homeschool, intervention, or classroom-center language. In the UAE, families may see KG1, KG2, British curriculum, American curriculum, IB, or Indian curriculum labels.

The name changes, but the learning routine stays the same: choose the exact skill, practise a small set, explain one answer, and connect to a related iBloom page.

How to adapt this for India, the US, and the UAE

India

For Indian families, connect this page to the child's school notebook and the language used by the teacher. A CBSE child may need the same core practice as an ICSE or state-board child, but the parent may search for Class 1 English, UKG maths, worksheet practice, revision, or tuition support. Use the page title to name the skill, then ask the child to solve one item and explain it in a simple sentence.

United States

For US classrooms and homeschool routines, use this page as a compact standards-aligned practice moment without turning it into a test. Teachers can place it in a literacy center, math warm-up, intervention binder, or homework folder. Parents can use the same page after school by focusing on one explanation rather than the number of items completed.

UAE

For UAE families, the same child may hear British, American, IB, or Indian curriculum terms across school and home. Keep the session language steady: name the skill in English, let the child explain in the strongest language if needed, then return to the English word, sound, number, sentence, or model on the page. This helps multilingual learners in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, and other UAE communities use the page with confidence.

Mini lesson plan for adults

Use this mini lesson when the page is part of a planned routine. First, tell the child the purpose of the page. Second, model one item and show the clue, sound, number, or model that matters. Third, let the child try a short set independently. Fourth, ask the child to explain one answer. Fifth, choose one follow-up link from iBloom so the next session repeats the skill in a fresh way.

If the child answers quickly, add a challenge by asking them to create a new example. If the child struggles, reduce the task and return to a real object, picture, oral sentence, or marked clue. The adult's job is to make the next step smaller and clearer, not to finish the page for the child.
