About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension is the skill of understanding, remembering, and thinking about what a text actually says. This Ski Trip Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders an original winter story and a set of questions that send them back into the text for evidence. Students read about a girl named Brianna who visits a snowy mountain for the first time, learns to slow herself down with a wedge, and discovers that falling is simply part of learning something new.
This ski trip reading comprehension worksheet is a printable three-page activity. Page one holds the illustrated story, page two holds the questions, and page three is a complete answer key. Students read the passage first, then answer four fill-in-the-bubble questions, finish two sentences using details from the story, and write a response in complete sentences. Print it for morning work, guided reading practice, a literacy center, or homework.
What’s Included
- A one-page original fiction passage written on a third grade reading level
- Four fill-in-the-bubble questions covering detail, vocabulary in context, sequence, and character change
- Two sentence-completion items that send students back to the passage
- One written-response question asking for text evidence in complete sentences
- A full answer key, including a sample written response
Three reasons this activity helps kids. First, every question is answerable straight from the passage, so students practice locating proof instead of guessing. Second, the vocabulary question teaches them to use context clues, because the story defines the word wedge in the very sentence that introduces it. Third, the written response builds the habit of explaining an answer with details, which is exactly what state reading assessments ask of third graders.
Teachers and parents can stretch this 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet in several ways. Read the story aloud together, then have students reread it silently before answering. Ask them to underline the sentence that proves each answer. Pair the worksheet with a class discussion about a time they learned something difficult, or have students write a short paragraph predicting what Brianna might try next winter.
