About this resource
Description
Reading a story closely and finding the answers in the text is a key skill in third grade. This Sheepdog reading comprehension worksheet gives students a funny, gentle farm story to read and then asks them to show what they understood. It is part of the Bacon and Wool series, so children who know the pig and the sheep will be glad to see them again, and new readers can enjoy it on its own.
In the story, Patches, a young sheepdog from the farm next door, gets lost and tries to herd Wool the sheep and even Bacon the pig! After reading, students answer four multiple-choice questions about cause, sequence, vocabulary, and main idea. Then they write one word from the story and give a short written answer. Use this Sheepdog reading comprehension worksheet for independent reading practice, a literacy center, homework, or a quick reading check.
What’s Included
- A one-page original story with a full-color picture
- Four multiple-choice questions with fill-in bubbles
- A vocabulary fill-in item and a short written response
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Students practice going back to the text to prove their answers.
- A vocabulary question teaches them to use context clues for a new word.
- The main idea question helps them think about the whole story, not just one part.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the title and look at the picture together first, and ask students to predict why the sheepdog is barking. After they finish, have them underline the sentence that answers each question. For extra fun, invite children to write a new ending where Patches visits the farm to play, or act out the story with a partner.
