About this resource
Description
Kindergarten readers are learning to hold a short text in mind and answer questions about it, and they are also learning to name the colors they see every day. This Things that are Black Reading Comprehension Worksheet practices both at once. The short story is all about the color black: the night sky, a pair of black shoes, a snack of juicy blackberries, and a big black umbrella that keeps you dry in the rain. Then it invites children to look around their own home for more black things. Every sentence is short, and almost every word is one a Kindergartner can read or sound out, so the effort goes into understanding rather than decoding.
The first page pairs the story with a bright, cozy picture of a rainy porch, with a black umbrella, a pair of black shoes and a bowl of blackberries, so children can match the words to the picture. Five multiple-choice questions follow on their own page, each with three choices and a big bubble to fill in. The questions are spread across all three paragraphs, so a child has to look back at the whole story instead of the first line only. Read the story aloud together first, then let students answer on their own and point to the sentence that proves each answer.
What’s Included
- A one-page story about things that are black, with a full-color picture
- Five multiple-choice comprehension questions with three choices each
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, it builds early reading comprehension with a text short enough to reread. Second, it ties the color word black to real things children can see, wear and taste, which strengthens their color vocabulary. Third, the look-back questions teach children that answers live in the text, a habit they will use in every grade.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Go on a black hunt around the classroom or at home and add each find to a class chart. Share a few blackberries at snack time, open a black umbrella, and let children talk about how the black things look and feel. Use this Kindergarten colors worksheet as a rainy-day warm-up, and pair the things that are black reading comprehension worksheet with the other color stories in the series so children can compare black, white and brown.
