About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension grows when students slow down, follow a story from start to finish, and prove their answers with details from the text. This Storm Warning Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives 4th grade readers an original two page story about a girl named Iris and her mom, who hear a thunderstorm warning on a clear summer afternoon and get ready before the power goes out.
Students read the whole story first, then turn to the questions page. They answer four multiple choice questions about word meaning, story details, an inference drawn from a science fact in the text, and the lesson of the story. A final written response asks them to explain how Iris changes and to support the answer with two details. The story also teaches real weather ideas, such as what a warning means and how counting the seconds after lightning tells how far away a storm is.
What’s Included
- A two page original fiction story written at a 4th grade reading level
- A cozy watercolor picture of a kitchen table set for a storm night
- Four multiple choice questions with fill-in bubbles
- One constructed response question with lines for a full answer
- An answer key with a sample written response
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, a longer story builds reading stamina, which students need for state tests. Second, every question sends readers back to the text, so they practice finding evidence instead of guessing. Third, the story links reading to science, so students learn safe habits for real storms while they practice comprehension skills.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Read the first page together and pause to ask students what they would pack for a storm night. After the questions, try the lightning count as a class: divide the seconds by five to find the miles. Use this 4th grade reading comprehension worksheet in a reading block, a weather unit, a sub folder, or homework, and pair the Storm Warning Reading Comprehension Worksheet with a short discussion about how families prepare for bad weather at home.
