Reading: Literature
Who, what and where
Answer who, what, where and when questions about a sentence you have read.
Reading is not only saying the words. It is being able to answer questions about what you just read.
Who
Who asks for a person or an animal. The answer is never a place or a thing.
What and where
What asks for a thing or an action. Where asks for a place.
The trick
Read the question first, then go back and hunt for that one word in the sentence.
Worked example
Read this: The old man fed the pigeons in the park.
Who fed the pigeons? The old man.
Who asks for a person, and the old man is the only person here.
Try it together

The sentence is: On Sunday the baker sold cakes at the market.
1.Who sold cakes? Write one word.
Have a go
The cat slept on the warm step. Where did the cat sleep?
