About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension grows when students read a short, lively story and then go back to the text to prove their answers. The Eating Blackberries Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders an original story about a boy named Roman whose favorite fruit is the blackberry. Students read closely, find details, figure out a new word from context and explain why waiting for summer makes the berries taste even better.
About This Worksheet
Page one holds the full story and a colorful backyard illustration of a picnic table with a bowl of ripe blackberries in front of thorny blackberry bushes. Page two asks four multiple-choice questions and one short-response question that sends students back to the story for details. Students can read on their own or with a partner, underline the sentences that answer each question, and then write their response on the lines.
What’s Included
- An original 3rd grade story about a boy who loves blackberries
- Four multiple-choice questions with fill-in bubbles
- One short-response question that asks for two details from the text
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, every question can be answered from the text, so students practice finding evidence instead of guessing. Second, one question asks what the word tart means, which builds the habit of using context clues to understand a new word. Third, the story teaches a real science fact, that blackberries grow on thorny bushes and ripen in the summer, so reading time doubles as learning time.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students to name their favorite fruit and tell when it is easiest to find in the store. After reading, have them circle every word that describes how a blackberry looks or tastes. Use the eating blackberries reading comprehension worksheet as a 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet in a literacy center, a small reading group or for homework, and invite students to write a short paragraph about a food they wait all year to enjoy.
