This fifth grade reading comprehension worksheet helps students in three important ways. First, it develops the ability to find the main idea and the supporting details in a text. Second, it strengthens vocabulary by asking students to figure out the meaning of the phrase “in the black” from context clues. Third, it encourages inference and critical thinking as students consider the lesson Joan learns by the end of the story.

Teachers and parents can use this worksheet during reading centers, as morning work, for homework, or as a quick comprehension check. Pair it with a discussion about holidays, saving money, and smart shopping, or use it inside a themed unit around Thanksgiving and Christmas. It also works well for small-group instruction and independent practice at home or in the classroom.
