About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension is the skill of understanding, remembering, and thinking about what a story actually says. The The Baseball Tryouts Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives students a short original narrative and then asks them to go back into the text to find the answer. Third graders are moving from learning to read into reading to learn, so they need steady practice at holding a whole story in mind, noticing the order of events, and pointing to the sentence that proves their thinking. This sheet builds all three habits at once.
Students read a one-page story about Violet, a girl who arrives early for baseball tryouts, misses her first two pitches, and gets a piece of advice from her friend Declan that changes her whole afternoon. On the second page they answer four multiple-choice questions and one written response. The story is written on a third grade reading level and every question can be answered directly from the text, so students are never guessing. An answer key is included on the final page, which makes this an easy sheet to hand back for self-checking or to grade quickly in a small group.
What’s Included
- A one-page original narrative story with a full-color illustration
- Four multiple-choice comprehension questions in fill-in-the-bubble format
- One written short-response question with lined writing space
- A complete answer key on the final page
- A printable PDF sized for standard letter paper
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It teaches students to return to the text for evidence instead of answering from memory alone.
- The story models perseverance and encouragement, so the reading practice also builds character.
- The mix of multiple-choice and written response prepares students for the question types they meet on real assessments.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this The Baseball Tryouts Reading Comprehension Worksheet as a warm-up on a reading day, as a quick assessment before a comprehension unit, or as a take-home page during a sports theme. Read the story aloud once as a class, then let students reread it silently before they answer. Ask them to underline the sentence that proves each answer, which turns the page into a text-evidence lesson. This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet also works well in a literacy center, where partners can read the story together and then compare their written responses.
