Description

Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills in second grade, teaching children to read closely, remember key details, and understand what a story is really about. This the school play reading comprehension worksheet pairs a fun, relatable story with questions that check for genuine understanding.
Students read the story of Maya, who is nervous and excited to play a brave little bird in her class play. Then they answer multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short-response questions about the characters, events, and feelings in the story. To use the worksheet, have children read the passage first, then work through each question and check their work with the included answer key.
