About this resource
Description
Young readers love stories about animals, and a big friendly horse is one of the easiest ways to get a kindergartner excited about reading on their own. The my pet horse reading comprehension worksheet pairs a short, cheerful story with 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 teaches the habit of looking back at the text to check.
About This Worksheet
The my pet horse reading comprehension worksheet is three pages. Page one has a colored-pencil picture of a brown horse grazing in a sunny field beside a red barn, and a 64-word story told by the horse’s owner: what the horse looks like, where she lives, what she eats and drinks, and how she is cared for each morning. 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 horse, printed in large, easy-to-read type
- A full-color picture of the horse, the field and the red barn
- 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 check the brown body, the long black tail and the red barn against what they read.
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 turn to the questions. Ask children to point to the sentence that proves each answer. Afterward, invite them to draw their own dream pet and tell you three facts about it. Pair this sheet with the other My Pet stories for a week of animal-themed reading practice. My Pet Horse 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.
