Description
A little orange goldfish is a perfect first reading buddy. The my pet fish reading comprehension worksheet gives kindergartners a short, cheerful story about a pet fish and five simple questions, so children practise reading carefully and then showing what they understood. Every answer comes straight from the words in the story, which builds the habit of looking back at the text to check.
About This Worksheet
The my pet fish reading comprehension worksheet is three pages. Page one has a soft watercolor picture of a goldfish swimming in a glass tank beside a green plant, and a 63-word story told by the fish’s owner: what the fish looks like, where it lives, what it eats, where it likes to hide and what it does all day. Page two has name and date lines and five multiple-choice questions with three answer choices each. Page three is the answer key. The sentences are short and built from familiar words, making this a comfortable kindergarten reading comprehension worksheet for guided reading, a literacy centre, or independent practice.
What’s Included
- A short first-person story about a pet goldfish, printed in large, easy-to-read type
- A full-color picture of the fish, its tank and its green plant
- Five multiple-choice questions with three fill-in-the-bubble choices each
- Name and date lines on the questions page
- A complete answer key
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It builds reading stamina in small steps. A story of about sixty words is long enough to feel like real reading and short enough to finish with success.
- It teaches readers to find details. Each question matches one sentence in the story, so children learn to go back and look for the answer.
- The picture supports the words. Children can find the orange fish, the glass tank, the green plant and the little bubbles in the picture.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the story aloud once while children follow along with a finger, then let them read it again on their own before they answer the questions. Ask children to point to the sentence that proves each answer. Afterward, talk about how people take care of a pet fish, and invite children to draw a tank for a fish of their own. Pair this sheet with the other My Pet stories for a week of animal-themed reading practice. My Pet Fish is also one of nine stories in the My Pets Reading Comprehension Test Collection, a kindergarten reading comprehension pack that puts all nine pet stories together with one combined answer key, so you can plan a whole unit on pets from a single download.
