Description
The bushel of peaches reading comprehension worksheet gives students a fun summer story to read closely and think about. Reading comprehension means understanding what a text says, remembering the key details, and using those details to explain your thinking. In this story, a girl named Ariel spots a huge bushel of ripe peaches at a farm stand and makes a clever deal with her dad to take the whole basket home.
This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet includes an original story of about 230 words with a bright picture of the farm stand. After reading, students answer four multiple-choice questions about the setting, the characters, and key events. Then they write a short answer that uses two details from the text to explain why Dad agreed to buy the bushel. It works well for independent practice, a reading center, or a quick check after a lesson.
What’s Included
- A one-page story, A Bushel of Peaches, with a full-color picture
- Four multiple-choice questions and one short-response question
- A complete answer key with a sample written response
Why It Helps Kids
First, the story is short and full of dialogue, so students stay interested while they practice careful reading. Second, the questions ask students to find the setting and key details, which are skills they will use on every reading test. Third, the short response teaches students to back up an answer with evidence from the text.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students to list their own favorite ways to eat fruit. After they finish the bushel of peaches reading comprehension worksheet, have them count Ariel’s ten ideas and check whether the story names them all. You can also invite students to write their own list of ten ways to enjoy a favorite food, then share it with a partner.
