Description
This Bacon and Wool to each their own reading comprehension worksheet invites third graders back to the farm for a funny story about two best friends who like very different things. Strong reading comprehension grows when children read a whole story closely, follow what happens and why, and figure out what a saying means from the words around it.
About This Worksheet
In this original story, Bacon the pig loves rolling in cool mud, and Wool the sheep loves sweet clover by the pond. Each friend tries the other’s favorite thing, and neither one likes it one bit! A wise old horse sums it up with the saying to each their own. This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet asks students to read the one-page passage, which comes with a cheerful clay-style farm picture, and then answer six questions on the next page.
What’s Included
- Page 1: a 234-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, sequence, and main idea, which are the core skills on every reading test. Second, students use context clues to explain a common saying, so they learn how writers teach new words and phrases right in the text. Third, the story’s gentle message reminds children that friends can like different things and still get along.
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. Ask children to share one favorite thing a friend does not like. Use the to each their own 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.
