About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension means understanding what you read, and young readers build it best with short stories about everyday life. The Brother Is Always Playing Games reading comprehension worksheet gives first graders a friendly family story about a child whose big brother is always busy playing games, followed by questions that check whether students noticed the important details.
About This Worksheet
This first grade reading comprehension worksheet starts with an original illustrated story of about 90 words. The narrator loves a big brother who plays card games with friends, board games after dinner, and games on his phone. One day the narrator asks him to play, and he takes out a box of checkers and teaches the narrator how to jump his pieces. After reading, students answer five multiple-choice questions by filling in the bubble next to the best answer. Every answer is right in the story, so children practice going back to the text to check their thinking.
What’s Included
- One page with the illustrated story “Brother is Always Playing Games!”
- One page with five multiple-choice comprehension questions and a Name and Date line
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the story uses short sentences and familiar words, so early readers can focus on meaning instead of sounding out every word. Second, the questions ask about key details from the beginning, middle, and end of the story, which teaches children to reread and look for evidence. Third, the warm theme of two siblings sharing a game makes reading feel personal and gives kids something real to talk about.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the story aloud first, then have children read it on their own or with a partner. Before answering the questions, ask students to retell the story in order. Talk about how the narrator asked for time together in a kind way, and invite children to share a favorite game they play with a brother, sister, or friend. You can use the Brother Is Always Playing Games reading comprehension worksheet in a reading center, as a quick check after a guided reading lesson, or as homework practice.
