About this resource
Description
Almost every child remembers losing a first tooth, and this pillow monster reading comprehension worksheet turns that big moment into a funny story kids want to read. Students meet Aliyah, a girl who wakes up to find her tooth gone and a shiny coin in its place. She starts to wonder if her puffy pillow is a monster that munches on teeth, until breakfast shows her the real answer.
About This Worksheet
This 2nd grade reading comprehension worksheet opens with a bright colored-pencil picture of Aliyah’s bed, with a coin peeking out from under the pillow, followed by a three-paragraph story. On the questions page, students answer four multiple choice questions about the tooth, the coin, Aliyah’s silly idea, and who really took the tooth. Then they write a short response that uses two details from the text to explain why Aliyah felt silly. Every answer can be found by going back to the story.
What’s Included
- One illustrated story passage, The Pillow Monster
- Four multiple choice comprehension questions
- One written response that asks for text evidence
- A full answer key for quick checking
Why Kids Love It
First, losing a tooth is something students have lived through or are waiting for, so the story feels personal. Second, the gentle humor of a pillow monster keeps young readers smiling all the way to the last line. Third, the questions build the habit of looking back at the text to find the details that prove an answer.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students to share what happened when they lost a tooth. After reading, have them draw their own silly idea about where a lost tooth might go and label it with one sentence. You can also start a class tooth chart to count lost teeth during the year. At home, the Pillow Monster reading comprehension worksheet is a fun bedtime read that sparks a talk about family traditions and imagination.
