About this resource
Description
Young readers grow stronger every time they read a short story and think about what happened in it. The New Crayons Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives first graders a cheerful story about a child who gets a brand-new box of crayons and colors a purple apple, a green cloud and a blue monkey in a tree. Children read the story, then answer questions that send them back to the text to find each detail.
How to Use This Worksheet
Page one holds the story and a bright crayon illustration of the finished picture. Have students read the story on their own or with a partner, then turn to the questions page and fill in the bubble next to the best answer for each of the five questions. Encourage them to look back at the story and point to the sentence that proves their answer before they mark it. The answer key on the last page makes checking quick for teachers, parents and the students themselves.
What’s Included
- A 102-word original story written at a 1st grade reading level
- A full-color illustration of the child’s silly-color picture and the new crayons
- Five multiple-choice comprehension questions with three choices each
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, every question can be answered from one clear sentence in the story, so children practice finding text evidence instead of guessing. Second, the short, simple sentences build reading fluency and confidence for early readers. Third, the playful topic of coloring things in silly colors keeps children interested and invites them to talk about their own art and creativity.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this new crayons reading comprehension worksheet in a reading center, as morning work, or as a quick check after a lesson on story details. After reading, give each child a sheet of paper and let them draw their own picture in silly colors, then write one sentence about it. You can also pair it with an art lesson on colors and ask students which real colors the apple, cloud and monkey would usually be.
