About this resource
Description
Baking is one of the first places a child discovers that reading really matters. A recipe is a set of directions, and the directions only work when they are read carefully and followed in order. This Learning to Bake Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders a short story about a girl named Nova who learns to make muffins with her uncle, then asks them to go back into the text to find every answer. Reading a story closely and proving an answer with a detail is the exact skill state reading tests measure year after year.
The printable is three pages. Page one holds the illustrated story, page two holds the questions, and page three is the answer key. Students read about how Nova reads the whole recipe out loud, measures the flour by sweeping the top of the cup flat, mixes the batter, and sets the timer. Then they answer four multiple-choice questions and one written response that asks for two details from the story. Use it for guided reading, a reading center, morning work, homework, or a quick comprehension check.
What’s Included
- An original 230-word story about learning to bake, written on a 3rd grade reading level
- A full-color illustration of a girl pouring muffin batter in a home kitchen
- Four multiple-choice questions, including two that require inference
- One written response asking for two details from the story
- A Name and Date line on the questions page
- A complete answer key
Three things make this page work in a classroom. First, every question can be answered from the story and nowhere else, so students learn to hunt for evidence instead of guessing from what they already know about kitchens. Second, the story models sequence words – first, then, next – so students practice tracking the order of events, which is what the questions about the recipe steps quietly test. Third, the written response asks for two details rather than one, so students have to hold the whole story in mind instead of copying the first line they find.
Teachers and parents can build on the page in several ways. Bring in a real recipe card and have students number the steps before they cook anything. Use this 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet beside a lesson on following directions or on writing how-to instructions. Ask students to write two more questions of their own and trade with a partner. Have them retell the story in four sentences using first, next, then, and last. Because the learning to bake reading comprehension worksheet pairs a warm family story with real-world reading, it works just as well at the kitchen table as it does at a guided reading group.
