About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension means understanding what a story says, remembering its important details, and figuring out why characters act the way they do. This flood reading comprehension worksheet helps third graders practice those skills with a gentle farm story about a very rainy week. Students read closely, find evidence in the text, and explain what happened and why.
About This Worksheet
In Bacon and Wool: The Flood, days of rain fill the ditches and spill the pond across the barnyard. Bacon the pig loves the water, but Wool the sheep’s soaked fleece grows so heavy he can barely walk. Saddlebags the horse leads the friends up the hill to dry ground, and they wait out the storm together. After reading, students answer four multiple choice questions, write a word from the story, and give a short written answer. Have students read the story once for fun, then reread it to find the sentence that proves each answer.
What’s Included
- A one-page illustrated Bacon and Wool story written at a 3rd grade reading level
- Four multiple choice questions on cause, sequence and main idea
- A vocabulary question and a short written response question
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, cause and effect questions teach students to connect what happens in a story to the reasons behind it. Second, every answer can be found in the text, so children build the habit of going back to the story for evidence. Third, the friendly characters and their teamwork make this 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet a story kids enjoy reading more than once.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the story aloud, then ask students to underline the sentence that answers each question. Talk about how the friends helped one another stay safe during the storm. Use the flood reading comprehension worksheet in a reading center, a small group, as homework, or as a quick comprehension check, and pair it with the other Bacon and Wool stories for a fun farm reading unit.
