About this resource
Description
Summarizing means retelling the most important parts of a story in just a few sentences, including the main problem and how it gets solved. The a new tennis racket reading comprehension worksheet gives students a fun, realistic story to practice that skill. Readers follow Jayce, a boy who needs a new racket before a big school match but has only ten dollars saved.
This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet starts with a one-page story and a colorful picture of the sports store window. On the next page, students answer four multiple-choice questions about the problem, the solution, the best summary, and why a character acts the way she does. Then they write their own short summary on the lines provided. Use it in reading groups, as a quick check, for homework, or as independent practice at a literacy center.
What’s Included
- 1 original story, “A New Tennis Racket,” with a full-color picture
- 4 multiple-choice comprehension questions
- 1 short written summary question
- Answer key with a sample summary
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids

Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students if they have ever saved money for something special. After reading, have partners tell each other the story in three sentences: beginning, middle, and end. You can also compare summaries as a class and vote on the one that is the clearest. Pair the a new tennis racket reading comprehension worksheet with a graphic organizer so students can plan the beginning, middle, and end of their summary before they write it.
