About this resource
Description
This six-toed kitty reading comprehension worksheet helps 2nd grade readers find key details in an informational text. Students learn that some cats are born with extra toes, where those toes come from, and why sailors long ago liked these big-pawed cats on their ships.
About This Worksheet
The six-toed kitty reading comprehension worksheet opens with a short, on-level passage and a colorful harbor scene. Students read the text, then turn to the question page to answer four multiple-choice questions about key details. A written response asks them to state the most important idea of the text and use two details to support it. Read the passage aloud together first, or let confident readers work on their own. As a 2nd grade reading comprehension worksheet, it fits well in a literacy center, a small reading group, a morning work bin, or a quick homework page.
What’s Included
- A one-page informational passage about six-toed cats
- Four multiple-choice key-detail questions
- One written main-idea response with lines to write on
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, every question sends students back to the text to find the exact sentence that proves the answer. Second, the written response builds the habit of naming a main idea and backing it up with details. Third, the passage teaches a new word, polydactyl, right in context, so students practice using the text to figure out meaning.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students to count the toes on a cat in a picture book and predict what “six-toed” means. After reading, have them underline the sentence that answers each question. For an extra challenge, let students write two more facts they would like to learn about cats and share where they might find the answers.
