About this resource

Description

Reading a true story about the world around them is one of the best ways for third graders to build stamina and understanding, and the Strawberry Fields Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives them a short, friendly non-fiction passage to practice with. Students read about how a real berry farm grows, protects, and harvests its fruit, then answer questions that ask them to find details, notice cause and effect, and decide what the whole passage is mostly about. Because the text is written right at the third grade reading level, children can focus on thinking about the meaning instead of struggling with the words.

This 3rd grade farm reading passage works well as morning work, a guided reading follow-up, a homework page, or a quick reading check. Students read the passage on the first page, then move to the question page and fill in the bubble beside the best answer for each multiple choice item. The final question asks them to write a longer answer and pull two details straight from the text, which is exactly the kind of evidence-based response state reading tests ask for. The included answer key makes grading fast and lets students check their own work in a center.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 1 original non-fiction passage, 4 multiple choice questions, and 1 written response

There are three big reasons this Strawberry Fields Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps children learn. First, the passage is real information, so students practice reading to learn instead of reading only for a story, which is the harder job in third grade. Second, the questions climb in difficulty from finding a stated detail to naming the main idea, so every reader has a way in and a way to stretch. Third, the written response forces students to go back into the text and prove their thinking with two details, which is the habit that carries them through every later grade.

Teachers and parents can stretch this lesson in simple ways. Read the passage aloud together first, then let students reread it quietly before answering. Ask children to underline the sentence that answers each question so the evidence is visible. Bring in a basket of real strawberries and let students describe the leaves, the seeds, and the color, then compare what they see with what the passage said. Visit a pick-your-own farm or a farmers market and ask the grower the same questions the worksheet asks. You can also have students write their own short paragraph about another food and how it is grown.
