About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension is the skill of understanding what you read: who the story is about, what happens, and why it matters. Young readers build it by reading short stories closely and then looking back at the text to find answers. The Grandma Is Always Sewing reading comprehension worksheet gives 1st grade students a warm, simple family story to practice this skill with confidence.
In this first grade reading comprehension worksheet, children read a short story about a child who loves Grandma, even though Grandma is always busy sewing. The story shows Grandma sewing curtains, making a dress, fixing a coat, and keeping a basket full of thread. Then the child asks Grandma to teach them, and the two sew a little pillow together. After reading, students answer five multiple-choice questions by filling in the bubble next to the best answer. Every question can be answered by looking back at the story.
What’s Included
- A one-page illustrated story written at a 1st grade reading level
- Five multiple-choice comprehension questions with three answer choices each
- A complete answer key for quick checking
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the story uses short sentences and familiar words, so early readers can focus on meaning instead of struggling with every word. Second, the questions ask about key details from every part of the story, which teaches children to reread and look for evidence. Third, the gentle family theme makes reading feel personal, which helps kids stay engaged and builds a love of stories.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the story aloud first, then have children read it on their own or with a partner. Before answering the questions, ask students to retell the story in order: beginning, middle, and end. Invite them to share something they like to make or do with a grandparent or family member. You can also use the Grandma Is Always Sewing reading comprehension worksheet in a reading center, as a quick check after a guided reading lesson, or as homework practice.
