About this resource
Description
This colorado worksheet helps 3rd grade students learn about the Centennial State while they practice reading for facts. Kids read about where Colorado sits in the United States, why it joined the country in 1876 with a special nickname, and how the tall Rocky Mountains in the west are so different from the flat plains in the east.
Students first read a short non-fiction passage about Colorado. It covers the states that border it, the aspen trees that turn gold in the fall, Denver and its Mile High City nickname, the huge sand dunes in the south, and the old cliff homes at Mesa Verde. Then they answer four multiple-choice questions and write a short response that compares the two sides of the state. Use it as a social studies lesson, a reading center, or a quiet morning task.
What’s Included
- A one-page non-fiction passage about Colorado with a full-color picture of the Great Sand Dunes
- Four multiple-choice questions on statehood, the state nickname, the capital and a vocabulary word
- One short written response that uses text evidence
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids Learn
- Students practice finding facts that are stated right in a text.
- Words like centennial and dune are explained in the passage, so kids learn to use context clues.
- The written response builds the habit of comparing ideas and backing up an answer with details.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Find Colorado on a U.S. map and name the six states that touch it. Talk about what a mile high means and why snow stays on the tall peaks. Pair this 3rd grade states worksheet with the other Rocky Mountain states to compare their land and nicknames, or collect each colorado worksheet and state page in a binder to build a fifty-state notebook over the year.
