About this resource
Description
Every classroom has a student who runs to the teacher with every little problem, and this Tattling Tara reading comprehension worksheet turns that moment into a gentle lesson. Students read a story about Tara, a girl who loves to tell on her brother and her classmates until her friends stop wanting to play with her. Her teacher explains that tattling and telling are not the same, and Tara soon gets a chance to show what she learned.
About This Worksheet
This 2nd grade reading comprehension worksheet opens with a colored pencil picture of a cookie jar on a kitchen counter just before dinner, followed by a three-paragraph story. On the questions page, students answer four multiple choice questions about key details and causes, then write a short response that explains what Tara learned, using both ideas from the text. It also works as a 2nd grade character education worksheet, giving children clear words for when to ask a grown-up for help.
What’s Included
- One illustrated story passage about Tara and her tattling
- Four multiple choice comprehension questions
- One written response that asks for text evidence
- A full answer key for quick checking
Why Kids Love It
First, children recognize themselves and their friends in Tara, so they want to find out how her story ends. Second, the simple rule from the story, that telling is getting help when a kid is hurt or not safe, is easy to remember and use on the playground the same day. Third, the written response builds the habit of going back to the text to find details that support an answer.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After reading, sort a few everyday situations into tattling or telling as a class, and talk about why each one belongs where it does. Role-play a playground problem and let students practice what they would say to a grown-up. At home, the Tattling Tara reading comprehension worksheet is a calm way to talk about siblings, fairness, and when it is important to speak up.
