About this resource
Description
Young children use position words all day long, and this Over and Under Reading Comprehension Worksheet turns them into real reading practice. Over and under are a pair of opposites, and knowing them helps a child follow directions, describe a picture and tell where things are. A short informational passage explains what over and under mean, then shows them in a sunny park: a bridge over a little river, a red boat floating under the bridge, a kite high over the trees and a ball under a bench.
This 1st grade opposites worksheet is built for beginning readers. Page one carries a 94-word passage in large type under a full-width park picture, and page two asks five multiple-choice questions with three answer choices each, drawn from every paragraph of the passage. Read the passage aloud together first, then let children reread it on their own before they fill in the bubbles. A complete answer key is included on the last page so the sheet can be checked in seconds.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 1 informational passage about opposites and 5 multiple-choice comprehension questions
Why It Helps Kids
This resource helps children in three ways. First, it builds reading stamina at the right level: the passage measures on grade, so a first grader can read it with little help. Second, every question in the Over and Under Reading Comprehension Worksheet can be answered by pointing to a sentence in the text, which teaches children to look back instead of guessing. Third, the passage pairs each position word with a picture, so children connect the meaning of over and under to something they can see.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the sheet as a reading center, a take-home page, or a quick check of how well a class finds answers in a text. After the questions, play a quick game: hold a book over a desk, then under it, and let children name the position. You can also ask them to point to everything in the picture that is over or under something else, or to draw their own scene that shows both words.
