Description
The A New Box of Crayons reading comprehension worksheet gives 4th grade readers an original two-page story about Madison, a girl who loves to color and dreams of a giant box of one hundred crayons. When she counts her piggy bank and comes up short, she has to find a way to earn the rest of the money on her own.
Students read the story, answer four multiple-choice questions, and then write a short constructed response that uses details from the text. The questions cover key details, a vocabulary word in context, a character’s reasons, and a character’s feelings. Use it for guided reading, test practice, literacy centers, or homework.
What’s Included
- A two-page 4th grade fiction story about earning and saving money
- Four multiple-choice comprehension questions
- One constructed response question that asks for text evidence
- A complete answer key with sample written responses
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the longer passage builds reading stamina, so students practice staying focused through a full story. Second, the questions ask readers to go back into the text to find exact details, such as how much money Madison still needed. Third, the written response teaches students to explain their thinking in full sentences and to support each part of an answer with evidence from the story.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students what they would do if they wanted something that cost more than they had saved. After reading, have them make a simple chart of every job Madison did and how much money each one paid. This 4th grade reading comprehension worksheet also pairs well with a short math lesson on adding coins and dollars, and it opens a great talk about hard work, kindness, and saving money. A new box of crayons reading comprehension worksheet like this one makes a fun partner reading activity too.
