Apple Facts Answer Key

About This Worksheet

This Grade 1 reading worksheet helps children tell whether a statement is supported by an informational text. Students read a short passage about apples, including where they grow, their colors, when they are picked, and what kind of food they are. They then decide whether each statement is true according to the passage. This introduces young readers to simple fact checking.

Learning Goals

The main goal is to help children separate information that appears in the text from information that does not. Students practice reading a statement, comparing it with the passage, and deciding whether it is supported. This builds attention to detail and early nonfiction comprehension. These skills support fact recall, evidence use, and careful reading.

Student Tasks

Children read the short informational passage about apples. They then look at each statement and write Yes if it matches the text or No if it does not. The questions ask about apple growth, color, fruit type, and picking season. Students can reread the passage before answering each one.

Common Challenges

Some children may answer based on what they already know about apples instead of what the passage says. Others may skim the text and miss a small detail. A parent or teacher can remind children that the worksheet is asking, “Does the text say this?” rather than “Could this be true?”

Teaching Suggestions

Teachers can model how to compare one statement with the matching sentence in the passage. Parents and homeschool educators can have the child point to the words that prove a Yes answer or show why a No answer is wrong. It may help to underline key facts before answering the questions. This builds a strong habit of returning to the text.

Worksheet Features

The worksheet includes a short nonfiction passage and four Yes or No fact-check questions. The topic is familiar and concrete, making it a good introduction to informational reading. The questions focus on directly stated facts rather than difficult inference. This page works well for nonfiction units, literacy centers, homework, or early evidence-based reading practice.
