About this resource
Description
Young readers love animals, and a reindeer is one of the best-built animals for a snowy home. This Rena the Reindeer Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives 2nd grade students a short, friendly text about Rena, a brown and white reindeer who lives in a cold land full of snow. Along the way, students learn real facts about how reindeer use their antlers, fur and wide hooves, what they eat, and why they travel in a herd.
Students read the one page text with its bright marker-style picture of Rena nibbling lichen in the snow, then answer four multiple choice questions with fill-in bubbles. The questions check a word meaning from the text, key details about Rena’s hooves and favorite food, and why the herd walks a long way each spring. A short written response asks students to use two details from the text to explain how Rena’s body is just right for life in the snow.
What’s Included
- One page reading passage about Rena the reindeer, with a full color picture
- Four multiple choice questions with fill-in bubbles
- One written response question that uses details from the text
- An answer key for quick checking
Why This Worksheet Helps
First, it builds reading stamina with a passage written right at a 2nd grade level. Second, it teaches students to go back to the text and find the exact sentence that answers a question. Third, it pairs reading with science, so students learn new words such as antlers, hooves and lichen while they practice comprehension.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the text aloud first, then let students reread it on their own before they answer. Ask students to underline the sentence that proves each answer. This 2nd grade animals worksheet works well in a winter or polar animal unit, a reading center, small group time, or homework. After finishing the Rena the Reindeer Reading Comprehension Worksheet, invite students to draw another snowy land animal and write two facts about it.
