Description
Reading comprehension means understanding a story well enough to explain what happened, why it happened, and what the characters learned. This Black Coffee Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders a short original story and then asks them to show what they understood. In the story, a girl named Scarlett takes a tiny sip of her dad’s black coffee, makes a sour face, and calls it gross. Her dad uses her favorite cupcake to help her see how that would feel, and Scarlett learns a kind lesson about respecting what other people enjoy.
The worksheet prints as three pages. Page one holds the illustrated story, page two holds the questions, and page three is the answer key. Students read the passage first, then answer multiple choice questions about cause, sequence, character feelings and the story’s lesson. Next they find a vocabulary word from the story using context clues, and finish by writing two lines of text evidence. Use this black coffee reading comprehension worksheet for independent practice, a reading center, homework, or a quick check after a lesson on story lessons and character.
What’s Included
- An original one-page 3rd grade story, “Black Coffee,” with a full-color picture
- Four multiple choice questions on cause and effect, sequence, inference and theme
- A context clues vocabulary question
- A short written response that asks for evidence from the story
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the story is short and warm, so students can focus on thinking instead of decoding. Second, the questions move past simple recall and ask kids to explain why things happened and what a character learned. Third, the written response builds the habit of going back to the text to prove an answer, which is a key skill on reading tests.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students to name a food or drink they love that someone else might not like. After reading, talk about kind ways to share an opinion. For an extra writing task, have students write what Scarlett might say the next time a friend tries a food she enjoys. This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet fits well in a unit on theme, character, or social-emotional learning.
