About this resource

Description

Please, thank you and yes are the first polite words a young reader is asked to write, and three of them are also Dolch primer sight words. This primer sight words reading comprehension worksheet puts eight of those words to work inside one short story about a child at snack time. The words say, please, want, have, yes, no, must and do are not drilled in a column here; they carry the sentences, which is where a sight word actually has to be recognised.

The story runs to fifty-nine words at a kindergarten reading level, set in large friendly type beside a warm stop-motion clay scene of a girl asking politely for a plate of apple slices. Page one is the story on its own, so a young reader can settle into it without a question in view. Page two carries five multiple-choice items with three choices each, and every answer sits in the text a child has just read. Use this kindergarten reading comprehension worksheet for guided reading, as an independent centre once primer words are introduced, or as a gentle way to talk about manners while the reading work is being done.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 1 original 59-word story using eight primer sight words
  • 5 multiple-choice comprehension questions with three choices each

Three things make this primer sight words reading comprehension worksheet useful in a kindergarten classroom. First, the sight words appear inside real sentences, so a child practises recognising them at speed rather than reciting them from a list. Second, the questions ask about details a reader has to go back and find, which builds the habit of returning to the text instead of answering from memory. Third, the fill-in-the-bubble format is the one a young child will meet on early assessments, and meeting it here, on a story they can already read, takes the strangeness out of it.

Teachers and parents can keep the same words moving all week. Read the story aloud together on Monday and let the child take over every word they already know. Write the eight words on cards and have the child hunt for each one in the story. Set out a real snack and take turns asking and answering, so yes please and no thank you get said out loud as well as read. Sight word songs work beautifully alongside a story like this, since a word a child can sing is a word they will spot on the page. Keep the finished sheet in a reading folder and read it again in a month to hear how much faster it goes.
