About this resource
Description
This builder’s store reading comprehension worksheet takes 4th graders on an informational tour of a hardware store. Students read how a big store full of supplies stays easy to use, from the departments and aisle signs to the paint-mixing machine and the garden center. Along the way, they practice finding stated reasons, following the steps of a process, and naming the main idea of a nonfiction text.
About This Worksheet
The original two-page passage explains how a builder’s store is organized, how shoppers find what they need, how paint gets its color, why power tools call for safety goggles and a grown-up, and why a careful shopper plans before leaving home. Tier-two and content words such as departments, lumber, valve, tint, and budget are defined right in the sentences that use them. After reading, students answer four multiple-choice questions drawn from both pages and write a two-part constructed response using details from the text. Use it for guided reading, independent practice, homework, or a quick nonfiction check-in.
What’s Included
- A two-page informational passage about a builder’s store (about 720 words)
- 4 multiple-choice comprehension questions
- 1 two-part constructed-response question
- A full answer key with a sample written response
Why It Helps Kids
First, a longer nonfiction passage builds the reading stamina 4th graders need for testing. Second, the questions ask students to locate reasons, sequence a real process, and separate the main idea from single details. Third, the written response teaches students to back up their thinking with evidence from the text, a skill they will use in every subject.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students what they would expect to find in a hardware store. After reading, have them sketch a simple store map with one department for each paragraph. You can also pair this 4th grade reading comprehension worksheet with a lesson on text structure, or invite students to write a shopping plan for a small project at home. The builder’s store reading comprehension worksheet works well in a community or careers unit, too.
