Description
How to teach Reading Comprehension
Reading comprehension means understanding what a story says, not just reading the words. Young readers grow this skill when they read a short story, picture what happens, and then look back in the text to find the details. The Learning to Whistle Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives 1st grade students a cheerful story about practicing a new skill, so they can read carefully and answer questions with facts they can point to in the passage.
About this worksheet
In this story, Eden wants to learn to whistle, but only air comes out when she tries. Dad shows her how to make her lips round like a little O and blow softly. Eden practices in the yard and in the bath, and one morning her whistle finally works and her dog runs to her across the grass. Students read the story on page one, then answer five multiple choice questions on page two by filling in the bubble next to the best answer. Have students read the story once for fun, then a second time with a pencil, underlining the sentence that answers each question. It also works as a 1st grade reading comprehension worksheet about never giving up.
What’s Included
- A 92-word original story about learning to whistle, with a full-color backyard illustration
- Five multiple choice questions with three answer choices each
- Name and date lines on the question page
- An answer key on the last page
Why it helps kids
First, every question can be answered from one sentence in the story, so children learn to look back in the text instead of guessing. Second, the short sentences and familiar words are written at a 1st grade reading level, which builds confidence and fluency. Third, the story shows that practice pays off, a message young learners can connect to their own reading and writing.
Ideas for teachers and parents
Use the Learning to Whistle Reading Comprehension Worksheet in a reading center, with a small group, or as homework. Before reading, ask students about something they had to practice many times before they could do it. After reading, have children retell Eden’s story in order, from her first try to the morning her dog runs to her. You can also invite students to draw something they are learning to do and write one sentence about how they practice.
