About this resource
Description
Presidents are some of the most interesting people in our history, and kids love learning the surprising stories behind them. This fun facts about presidents reading comprehension worksheet helps 2nd grade students practice reading an informational text closely and answering questions with details they find in it.
Students read a short passage full of fun facts about famous presidents from long ago: why George Washington never lived in the White House, what Thomas Jefferson did with his thousands of books, what Abraham Lincoln tucked inside his tall hat, and how the teddy bear got its name. Then they answer four multiple-choice questions and write a short answer that compares two presidents. It is a great 2nd grade reading comprehension worksheet for small groups, literacy centers, homework, or Presidents’ Day lessons.
What’s Included
- A one-page informational passage with a colorful illustration of the White House
- Four multiple-choice comprehension questions with fill-in-the-bubble answers
- One short written response that asks students to compare two presidents using the text
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds the habit of going back to the text to find evidence, which is the heart of reading comprehension. Second, the short, true facts keep young readers curious and motivated to read carefully. Third, the written response asks students to compare two people, a thinking skill that grows their understanding of informational text and prepares them for later grades.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the passage aloud first, then have students reread it on their own before answering. Ask children to underline the sentence that answers each question. After the fun facts about presidents reading comprehension activity, invite students to find one more fun fact about a president and share it with the class, or pair it with a map of Washington, D.C. to show where the White House stands.
