About this resource
Description
The I Want That reading comprehension worksheet gives 5th grade readers an original two-page story about Emmanuel, a boy who spots a blue robot kit at the store and hears his mom say, “Not today.” Instead of begging, he asks how much it costs and decides to save up for it himself.
Students read the story, answer four multiple-choice questions, and then write a short constructed response that uses details from the text. The questions cover a vocabulary word in context, cause and effect, a character’s actions, and the central idea of the story. Use this I Want That reading comprehension worksheet for guided reading, test practice, literacy centers, or homework.
What’s Included
- A two-page original story written at a 5th grade reading level
- A full-color illustration of the finished robot on Emmanuel’s desk
- Four multiple-choice questions with fill-in-the-bubble answers
- One written-response question with lines for a full answer
- An answer key with sample responses
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
This story builds reading skills in three ways. First, the plot follows a clear goal from start to finish, so students can trace each choice Emmanuel makes and how it moves him closer to the robot. Second, the words budget and need are defined right in the story, so readers practice using context clues. Third, the written response asks children to support their answer with evidence, a key skill on reading tests. It is a strong 5th grade reading comprehension story that also teaches smart money habits.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students about something they once wanted and had to wait for. After reading, have them sort a list of items into needs and wants, or make a simple savings chart for a goal of their own. You can extend the lesson by working out how many weeks Emmanuel would have needed without his extra jobs, which connects the story to real math.
