Print by grade
-
1st grade Core grade
Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.
This, that, these, and those are pointing words: this and these point to things right here, that and those across the room. First graders choose by asking two questions: is it one or many, and is it near or far?
-
2nd grade
The demonstratives sort along two lines: number (this/that for one, these/those for more) and distance (this/these near, that/those far). Second graders read the sentence's clues and pick the word both lines agree on.
-
3rd grade
Third graders use the four pointing words automatically and clean up the common slip of "them" as a pointer ("them books"). The two-question habit, how many and how far, resolves every item without memorization.
