Description
Reading comprehension means understanding what you read and remembering the important details. This Do Tigers Like Monkeys? reading comprehension worksheet gives first graders a short, true-to-life story to read and think about. Children read about a tiger cub and a baby monkey who grow up together at an animal park and become best friends, then answer questions about the story.
About This Worksheet
The first page has a four-paragraph passage of about one hundred words, written at a first grade reading level, with a bright watercolor picture of the tiger cub pushing a red ball while the monkey cheers. The second page has five multiple choice questions with three answer bubbles each. Students look back in the text to find where the animals live, what the helpers gave them, how they play, and how the cub shows that he cares about his friend. This 1st grade reading comprehension worksheet works well for guided reading, literacy centers, independent practice or homework.
What’s Included
- A one-page story about a tiger cub and a baby monkey
- A colorful illustration of the two friends playing
- Five fill-in-the-bubble comprehension questions
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds reading stamina with a passage that is the right length for first grade. Second, each question asks students to find a detail in the text, which teaches them to go back and check instead of guessing. Third, the friendly story about two very different animals keeps young readers interested and invites a warm talk about kindness and friendship.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the title together first and ask children to predict the answer to the question. After they finish this Do Tigers Like Monkeys? reading comprehension worksheet, have them point to the sentence that proves each answer. You can also ask children to draw a picture of two animal friends and write one sentence about how they play together.
