About this resource
Description
Reading for facts starts with a topic kids already love, and this Floppy Ears Reading Comprehension Worksheet is all about dogs. First graders read a short nonfiction passage about the basset hound and its very long, floppy ears. They learn how those big ears help a hound follow a smell, why the ears get wet at the water bowl, and how a pet owner can keep them clean and dry.
This 1st grade reading comprehension worksheet has three pages. Page one holds a colorful picture of a basset hound in a sunny yard and a 96-word passage set in large, easy-to-read type. Page two has five multiple choice questions with three answer choices each, and students fill in the bubble next to the best answer. Every question points back to one sentence in the text, so children practice going back to find the proof. The last page is the answer key. Use it for small group reading, a literacy center, homework or a quick reading check.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet (3 pages)
- A 96-word nonfiction reading passage with a full-color picture
- 5 multiple choice comprehension questions
- Answer key
There are three reasons this Floppy Ears Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps kids. The passage is written at a true first grade level, with short sentences and familiar words. The questions ask about key details from every paragraph, so students must read the whole text, not just the first lines. And a real, friendly animal fact keeps young readers curious and ready to read more.
Teachers and parents can extend the lesson easily. Ask students to underline the sentence that answers each question before they fill in a bubble. Talk about other animals that use their noses or ears in special ways. You can also have children draw their own dog and write one sentence that tells a fact they learned from the passage.
