About this resource
Description
This Bacon and Wool farmer bob reading comprehension worksheet takes third graders to a small red farm to meet two brand-new babies and the kind farmer who names them. Strong reading comprehension grows when children read a whole story closely, notice why characters act the way they do, and figure out what a phrase means from the words around it.
About This Worksheet
In this original story, a truck brings Farmer Bob a little pink piglet and a tiny white lamb. Instead of picking names right away, he watches them for a whole week. The hungry piglet loves the feed from Bacon’s Feed Store, and the lamb grows so fluffy that he is more wool than lamb. By the end of the week, Farmer Bob knows exactly what to call his new friends. This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet asks students to read the one-page passage, which comes with a bright cartoon farm picture, and then answer six questions on the next page.
What’s Included
- Page 1: a 226-word 3rd grade story with a full-color illustration
- Page 2: four multiple choice questions, one vocabulary fill-in, and one written response
- Page 3: a complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the questions practice cause and effect, key details, and main idea, which are the core skills on every reading test. Second, students use context clues to explain a playful phrase, so they learn how writers teach meaning right in the text. Third, the written response asks children to explain a character’s choice in their own words, building the habit of answering with evidence from the story.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the story aloud once, then have students read it again on their own and underline the sentence that answers each question. Invite children to name a pet or stuffed animal the way Farmer Bob did, by what makes it special. Use the farmer bob reading comprehension worksheet in a reading center, a small group, as homework, or as a quick comprehension check. Pair it with the other Bacon and Wool stories for a fun farm reading unit.
