About this resource
Description
This Shipping a Box reading comprehension worksheet gives 4th grade students an informational passage about how a package gets ready for its trip and how it travels to someone’s door. With the shipping a box reading comprehension worksheet, readers learn about corrugated cardboard, padding, packing tape, labels, postage, tracking numbers, and the busy sorting centers that move thousands of boxes every hour.
Students read a two-page nonfiction passage and then answer four multiple choice questions that ask them to recall key details, explain a cause, follow a step in a process, and identify the main idea. A final written response asks students to name the two things that set the price of postage and explain why a heavy box going far away costs more, using details from the text. It works well for independent reading, small groups, homework, or test prep.
What’s Included
- A two-page informational passage, Shipping a Box, with a full-color illustration
- A question page with four multiple choice questions and one constructed response
- A complete answer key with a sample written response
3 Reasons This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds nonfiction reading skills by asking students to follow the steps of a real process from start to finish. Second, it grows academic vocabulary, since each new word, such as postage or corrugated, is explained right in the sentence where it appears. Third, the written response gives students practice explaining their thinking and backing it up with evidence from the passage.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Bring in an empty cardboard box and let students point out the wavy layer inside the corrugated cardboard. Have children list the shipping steps in order on sticky notes, or pack a small classroom care package together and write the label as a class. This 4th grade reading comprehension worksheet also pairs nicely with a lesson on writing addresses or a class visit to a local post office.
