Description

Primer sight words are the words a young reader meets on almost every page, and they have to be recognized instantly rather than sounded out. The The New Horse Primer Sight Words Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives a beginning reader a short, warm story built entirely around nine primer words — will, get, new, pretty, was, brown, she, ride and soon — so those words are practiced in real sentences instead of on a flash card. Reading them inside a story is what moves a sight word from something a child decodes to something a child simply knows.

This kindergarten reading comprehension worksheet pairs a fifty-seven word story about a child and a new brown horse with five multiple choice questions. Page one holds the story and a full color illustration of the horse grazing in a sunny meadow. Page two carries the questions, each with three answer choices and a bubble to fill in, and the final page is a complete answer key. Read the story aloud together first, then let the child reread it independently before answering. Every question is answerable straight from the text, so a child who goes back and looks will always find the evidence.

What’s Included

  • A three page printable PDF worksheet, ready to print on standard letter paper
  • An original fifty-seven word story using all nine primer sight words
  • A full color illustration of the story on the reading page
  • Five multiple choice comprehension questions with three choices each
  • A complete answer key on the final page
  • Name and date lines on the question page

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • Sight words are practiced in connected text, which is where they actually have to be automatic.
  • The short story and the three choice format keep the reading load low, so the child spends attention on meaning instead of on decoding.
  • Every answer is found in the story, so children build the habit of going back to the text for evidence.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Use the The New Horse Primer Sight Words Reading Comprehension Worksheet as a guided reading warm up, a literacy center, a homework page, or a quick check before a sight word assessment. Have children underline each primer word in the story before they answer, then read the story a second time for fluency. Partners can take turns reading a sentence each, and early finishers can draw their own picture of the horse on the back. The answer key makes this easy to hand to a volunteer, a substitute teacher, or an older sibling.
