This Grade 2 worksheet builds an essential early communication skill—restating the question while answering. Designed for young learners, it teaches children how to use words from the question to form clear, complete sentences instead of giving short or unclear answers. With carefully scaffolded activities such as sentence practice, multiple choice selection, guided rewriting, passage-based comprehension, and paragraph writing, students learn to respond confidently in both spoken and written language.
Restating questions is an important foundational skill for Grade 2 learners because:
1. It helps children answer in full sentences rather than one-word responses.
2. It improves understanding of question words like what, who, where, when, why, and how.
3. It strengthens sentence structure and early writing skills.
4. It prepares students for comprehension questions, exams, and paragraph writing in higher grades.
This worksheet includes five age-appropriate activities to build confidence in answering clearly:
✏️ Exercise 1 – Restate the Question in Your Answer
Students use words from each question to form a complete answer sentence. Example: “What is your favorite food?” → “My favorite food is pasta.”
🧠 Exercise 2 – Choose the Correct Restatement
Students read a sentence and select the option that best restates its meaning, reinforcing comprehension and accuracy.
✍️ Exercise 3 – Restate the Answer Using Question Words
Learners use question words provided to restate answers correctly, strengthening the link between questions and responses.
📝 Exercise 4 – Passage-Based Questions
Students read a short passage about daily activities and answer questions by restating them in full sentences, improving comprehension and writing flow.
📖 Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing
Students restate the question in the first sentence and then write a short paragraph using their own ideas, encouraging independent expression.
