About this resource
Description
Reading a story closely and finding the details that answer a question is a key skill in third grade, and The Treasure Chest Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives students a fun birthday story to practice it. Jayden loves tales of pirates and gold and wants to find a real treasure chest, but his big sister Emery says treasure chests are only in books. Students read to find out how his family makes his wish come true.
The first page holds a short, original story of about 225 words with a bright painted picture of a treasure chest dug up under an oak tree. The second page asks four multiple-choice questions about causes, details, and events, one vocabulary question that asks students to find a word from the story, and one short written response about how a character changes. Students must go back to the text to prove each answer, which builds careful reading habits. Use it for guided reading, a literacy center, homework, or a quick reading check.
What’s Included
- One page with an original treasure hunt story and a full-color picture
- Four multiple-choice comprehension questions
- One vocabulary-in-context question
- One short written response about a character
- A complete answer key with sample responses
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It builds text evidence skills. Every question is answered by a sentence in the story, so students learn to look back and check.
- It grows vocabulary. The word question asks students to use context clues to find a word that matches a meaning.
- It teaches character change. Students notice how Emery goes from doubting the treasure to helping hide it.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Print The Treasure Chest Reading Comprehension Worksheet one copy per student, or use it as a 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet in small groups. Before reading, ask children what they would hope to find in a treasure chest. After they finish, have them underline the sentence that answers each question. For an extra challenge, let students draw their own backyard map with three clues and an X. At home, read the story aloud together and hide a small surprise for a family treasure hunt.
