Snack Attack Reading Comprehension Worksheet

The Snack Attack Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives first graders a short, warm story to read closely and then answer questions about. Sawyer comes home hungry after school, Audrey comes over to play, and the two friends hunt through the kitchen for something to eat. They turn up cheese and crackers, a bowl of red apples and sweet berries, two soft cupcakes, and a steaming bowl of noodles – and in the end they put everything on the table and share it. The passage runs 94 words at a measured first-grade reading level, so a student can read it independently and still have attention left for thinking about it.

This snack attack reading comprehension worksheet is ready to print and go. Page one carries the illustrated story on its own, so nothing competes with the reading. Page two holds five multiple-choice questions with three choices each, in fill-in-the-bubble format sized for small hands. Every question is keyed to something the story says rather than something the picture shows, so a student has to actually read to answer – the illustration sets the scene without giving anything away. The final page is a complete answer key laid out exactly like the question page.

What’s Included

• One illustrated story page with a 94-word first-grade passage
• One question page with five multiple-choice items, three choices each
• Fill-in-the-bubble answer format with large, easy-to-mark circles
• A complete answer key on the final page
• Print-ready PDF sized for standard 8.5 x 11 paper

Why Kids Benefit

• The questions ask why, how, and what happened at the end, so students practice real comprehension instead of hunting for a matching word.
• Because no answer can be read off the picture, students get honest practice at holding a story in mind while they answer.
• The everyday kitchen setting and familiar snack words keep the decoding load low, which is what lets a first grader spend effort on meaning.

Teacher and Parent Ideas

Read the story aloud once while students follow along, then have them read it again on their own before they touch the questions. Ask students to underline the sentence that proves each answer, which turns the sheet into early text-evidence practice. It also works well in pairs: one student reads a question aloud and the other has to find the sentence that answers it. For a follow-up, have students draw the snack they would have added to the table and write one sentence about who they would share it with. This is a 1st grade reading comprehension worksheet, so it fits neatly into a guided-reading rotation or an independent literacy center.
