About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension at first grade means holding a short story in your head and then finding the exact words that answer a question. This moving day reading comprehension worksheet gives beginning readers a story worth holding onto: a girl watches the moving truck pull away from her old house, worries she will miss her tree house, and then finds a surprise and a new friend waiting in the new back yard. Every one of the five questions can be answered straight from the text, so students practice going back and looking rather than guessing.
This 1st grade reading comprehension worksheet is three pages. Page one carries a full-color watercolor scene and a 110-word story set in large 17-point type sized for beginning readers. Page two holds five multiple-choice questions with three fill-in-the-bubble choices each, and page three is the complete answer key. Print it for a guided reading group, an independent reading center, morning work, or homework — the reading level, the story length, and the question format are all built to the first grade band.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- An original 110-word story written and measured on the first grade reading level
- A full-color illustrated scene from the story
- 5 multiple-choice questions with 3 fill-in-the-bubble answer choices each
- A complete answer key
Three reasons this resource helps children learn to comprehend what they read. First, the story is short enough to finish in one sitting, which is what lets a beginning reader hold the whole thing in mind while answering. Second, every question points at one sentence in the text, so a student who is unsure learns the habit of going back and rereading instead of guessing. Third, the fill-in-the-bubble format gives young readers practice with the answer style they will meet on reading assessments, without adding any writing load to the reading task.
Teachers and parents can build on this moving day reading comprehension worksheet in a few easy ways. Ask students to retell the story in three sentences: what happened first, next, and last. Have them draw the tree house they would want in their own back yard and label one part of it. Talk about a time they felt nervous about something new and how it turned out. Reread the story a second day for fluency and time how smoothly it goes.
