About this resource

Description

First graders are ready to read a short story on their own and answer questions about what happened. The Mommy Is Always Exercising reading comprehension worksheet gives them a warm family story to practice with. A child tells about a mommy who sings silly songs, makes the best pancakes and is always exercising. She runs in the park and does yoga on a purple mat. The child feels left out at first, but the story ends with the two of them jogging and stretching together after school. Every sentence is short and every word fits a 1st grade reader.

Page one pairs the story with a cheerful clay-style picture of a sunny park with a purple yoga mat and a water bottle on the grass. Page two has five multiple-choice questions with three choices each, and children fill in the bubble next to the best answer. The questions ask about details from every part of the story, so readers have to look back at the text instead of guessing. Read the story aloud together first, then let children answer on their own and point to the sentence that proves each answer.

What’s Included

  • A one-page family story with a full-color picture
  • Five multiple-choice comprehension questions with three choices each
  • A complete answer key

Why It Helps Kids

First, it builds reading comprehension with a story short enough to reread for evidence. Second, it shows a healthy habit in a positive way, so children connect exercise, water and time outside with feeling good. Third, the story models how a child can share feelings and solve a problem with a family member, which makes a great start for a class talk.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

After reading, ask children how the child in the story felt and what changed at the end. Take a short movement break and let students stretch and jog in place like the family in the story. This first grade reading comprehension worksheet also works well in a reading center, as a quick check after a guided reading lesson, or as homework. Pair the Mommy Is Always Exercising reading comprehension worksheet with the other stories in the series for more practice.
