About this resource
Description
The Moles reading comprehension worksheet gives 1st grade readers a short, fact-filled passage about one of the busiest diggers in the backyard. Children learn where a mole lives, how its big front paws work like shovels, why it makes little hills of dirt in the grass, and how its good nose helps it find food.
This worksheet is a great fit for guided reading, a literacy center, independent practice, or homework. Students read the passage, then answer five multiple-choice questions by filling in the bubble next to the best answer. Every question can be answered from the text, so it is easy to check for understanding.
What’s Included
- A one-page informational passage about moles with a colorful illustration
- Five multiple-choice questions with three answer choices each
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
This 1st grade reading comprehension worksheet builds early reading skills in three ways. First, the short sentences and familiar words help beginning readers read on their own with confidence. Second, each question asks children to go back to the text and find a key detail. Third, the passage introduces simple science facts about animals, so reading and science learning happen together. The moles reading comprehension worksheet makes a quick, easy check of how well students understand what they read.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask children if they have ever seen little piles of dirt in a yard and what might have made them. After reading, have them draw a mole’s tunnel under the grass and label the paws and the nose. You can also pair this passage with other animal books and nature walks for a fun science and reading week.
