Description
Reading comprehension is the skill of understanding, remembering, and thinking carefully about what a story actually says. The Finding Something To Do – Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives 3rd grade students a short original story and a set of questions that send them straight back into the text for evidence. Students read about a girl named Ivy, who turns a rainy Saturday into a small window garden, and then show what they understood about the main idea, the order of events, and the details the author chose to include.
This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet is a three page printable. Page one holds the illustrated story, page two holds the questions, and the final page is the answer key. Begin by having students read the whole story once for enjoyment, then a second time with a pencil in hand. Ask them to underline the sentence that shows how Ivy felt at the beginning. Students then fill in the bubble beside each multiple choice answer, copy one sentence of text evidence, and finish by explaining in their own words how Ivy solved her problem.
What’s Included
- A three page printable PDF, ready to print
- An original 3rd grade story with a full color illustration
- Four fill in the bubble questions covering main idea, sequence, inference, and detail
- A text evidence item that asks students to copy a sentence from the story
- A written response item with lined writing space
- A complete answer key with a sample written response
This activity helps kids in three ways. First, it builds the habit of returning to the text for proof instead of guessing from memory. Second, it mixes question types, so students practice locating a stated detail and drawing a conclusion in the same sitting. Third, the story is written and measured at a third grade reading level, which keeps the challenge in the thinking rather than in the decoding.
Teachers can use this page as a Monday warm up, a small group reading task, a sub plan, or a quick check before a unit test. Parents can read the story aloud with a child, pause after each paragraph, and ask what might happen next. For an extension, invite students to plant a seed in a cup at home and keep a short journal, just like Ivy did. This finding something to do – reading comprehension worksheet also pairs well with a lesson on story elements.
