Mothers Day Reading Comprehension Worksheet

This Mothers Day Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps 2nd grade students practice reading a short nonfiction passage and answering questions about what they read. Students read a warm, illustrated story about Mother’s Day — when it happens, why we celebrate it, and the many ways mothers care for us — and then show what they understood. This mothers day reading comprehension worksheet builds important skills like finding key details, understanding the main idea, and supporting answers with text.

On the first page, children read the illustrated Mother’s Day passage. On the following page, they answer four multiple-choice questions, finish a fill-in-the-blank sentence, and write a short response about how they can make someone they love feel special. A complete answer key is included, so checking student work is quick and easy.
