Imagine your friend runs up to you at recess and shouts, "It fell!"
You do not know what fell, who was there, or where it happened. To solve the mystery, you need to ask questions.
What special question words can we use to learn the whole story?
Three Clue Words
We use who to ask about a person or animal, what to ask about a thing or action, and where to ask about a place.

How do we pick the right question word when someone is talking to us?
Listening and Asking
First, listen closely to what the speaker shares. Then, ask about the missing part of the story.

Remember to ask for only one clue at a time so the speaker has time to answer you clearly.
Next time someone shares a story with you, listen for a missing person, thing, or place, and ask your question!
