Description
This Icky Ivan Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders a short, gentle story about a boy who does icky things to make his classmates laugh. Ivan stomps in mud puddles, forgets to wash his hands and sneezes without covering his nose, until one day no one picks him as a science partner. With help from his dad, he learns that germs can make people sick, that funny jokes beat icky tricks, and that being kind and clean is a great way to make friends.
How to Use This Worksheet
Students read the story on page one, then turn to the questions page. Part A has four multiple choice questions that ask about a character’s reason, an event, a key detail and what Ivan did to change. Part B asks students to explain what Ivan learned about making friends, using two details from the text. The final page is an answer key, so checking work is quick for teachers and parents. The sheet works well for independent reading practice, small reading groups, homework, or a health and character lesson.
What’s Included
- A one-page, 3rd grade story about Ivan and his icky habits, with a full-color illustration
- Four multiple choice comprehension questions
- One written response question about the lesson a character learns
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, the story is written at a third grade reading level, so students can read it on their own and focus on understanding. Second, the questions ask students to find key details and explain a character’s lesson with evidence, which builds deeper thinking. Third, this 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet connects reading to healthy habits children use every day, like washing hands and covering a sneeze.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students why washing hands matters. After reading, have partners act out the kind choices Ivan makes at the end of the story. You can also ask students to write a funny, friendly joke Ivan might tell at recess. Pair the Icky Ivan Reading Comprehension Worksheet with a class chart of healthy habits to keep the conversation going.
