About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension is the skill of understanding what you read: who the story is about, what happens, and in what order things happen. Young readers build it by reading short stories closely and then looking back at the text to find answers. The Mom’s Busy Day reading comprehension worksheet gives 1st grade students a cheerful family story that is perfect for practicing story sequence and key details.
In this first grade reading comprehension worksheet, children read a short story told by a child who spends the day running errands with Mom. First they go to the store, next to the post office, then to the library, and last they drive home, where Mom waters the plants on the porch. Order words like first, next, then, and last help students follow the events. After reading, students answer five multiple-choice questions by filling in the bubble next to the best answer. Every question can be answered by looking back at the story.
What’s Included
- A one-page illustrated story written at a 1st grade reading level
- Five multiple-choice comprehension questions with three answer choices each
- A complete answer key for quick checking
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, the story uses short sentences and familiar words, so early readers can focus on meaning instead of struggling with every word. Second, the questions follow the order of the day, which teaches children to notice sequence words and retell events in the right order. Third, the everyday family errands feel familiar, which helps kids connect the story to their own lives and stay engaged.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the story aloud first, then have children read it on their own or with a partner. Before answering the questions, ask students to retell Mom’s day using the words first, next, then, and last. Invite them to draw or write about a busy day in their own family. You can also use the Mom’s Busy Day reading comprehension worksheet in a reading center, as a quick check after a guided reading lesson on sequencing, or as homework practice.
