Description
Reading comprehension at fifth grade asks students to pull meaning out of informational text, and this Sub Sandwich Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives them a passage built for exactly that work. The two-page article explains how a submarine sandwich is put together, from the split roll and its crust and crumb to the order of the layers inside it, and every question sends the reader back to the text for evidence.
The passage runs 817 words across two pages, which is the independent reading load a fifth grader is expected to carry. Students read about why bread soaks up water, how a sheet of cheese shields the roll, what gives a fresh pepper its snap, what condiments do, and what changes when a sub is toasted. A question page then asks four multiple choice items and one written response. Print the whole packet, read the passage together or independently, and use the answer key to check the work.
What’s Included
- A two-page original informational passage titled Sub Sandwich, written at a fifth grade reading level
- Four multiple choice questions covering vocabulary in context, a stated function, cause and effect, and central idea
- One constructed response question with ruled writing space
- A complete answer key with a sample written response
- A print ready PDF in the Have Fun Teaching worksheet template
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It builds reading stamina, because the story of the sandwich keeps a student moving through a full two pages of text
- It teaches vocabulary the way tests do, by defining words such as crumb and condiment inside the sentence that introduces them
- It connects reading to science, since the crunch of a vegetable and the melting of cheese are both explained as things a student can observe at lunch
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
- Use this 5th grade food worksheet as a warm up before a nutrition or food science unit
- Have students list the layers in order and explain what each one protects
- Ask readers to build their own sandwich on paper and defend the order they chose
- Pair the Sub Sandwich Reading Comprehension Worksheet with a lunch menu and compare the descriptions
