About this resource
Description
Reading a short story and answering questions about it is a key early literacy skill, and this New Friend Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives first graders a fun way to practice. Students read a sweet story about a girl named Maya who meets a new friend on her very first day at a new school, and then they answer questions that check how well they understood the text.
This making a new friend reading worksheet works well for independent reading, guided reading groups, or a whole-class read-aloud. Read the story together or let students read on their own, then have them fill in the bubble for the multiple-choice questions and write their answers on the lines for the short-answer questions. The friendly picture at the bottom of the page helps young readers connect with the story.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A short story with 4 comprehension questions (multiple choice and short answer)
This New Friend Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps children in three ways. First, the short, friendly story is just the right length to keep early readers engaged from start to finish. Second, the mix of multiple-choice and short-answer questions builds both reading recall and written expression. Third, answering questions about who, where, and how strengthens the comprehension strategies students will use with every text they read.
For even more fun, act out the story with your child, taking turns playing Maya and Zoe, or talk together about a time your child made a new friend. You can sing a friendship song, draw a picture of the two friends, or have students write one more sentence to continue the story. These simple activities make reading comprehension practice feel like play at home or in the classroom.
