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 Purple Reading Comprehension Worksheet practices both at once. The short story is all about the color purple: grapes, flowers, an eggplant and a jar of purple paint. Then it invites children to look around their own room for more purple things. Every sentence is short, and 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 marker-style picture of a garden table holding a bunch of grapes, an eggplant and a jar of purple paint beside a patch of purple flowers, 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 purple, with a full-color marker-style 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 purple to real things children can see, touch 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 purple hunt around the classroom or yard and add each find to a class chart. Set out purple paint or a purple crayon and let children draw three purple things from the story. Use this Kindergarten colors worksheet as a warm-up, and pair the things that are purple reading comprehension worksheet with the other color stories in the series so children can compare purple, green and blue.
