Description
Five is one of the first numbers a child truly owns, because it is sitting right there on one hand, and this Things that come in 5s Reading Comprehension Worksheet lets a Kindergarten reader meet that number in print. Early comprehension is not a separate subject from counting: a child who reads “It has five arms” and then finds five arms in the picture is doing exactly what comprehension asks — holding a fact from the text in mind and checking it against the world.
This kindergarten numbers worksheet is ready to print and hand out. Page one holds a short, illustrated story in big 24-point type: five fingers on one hand, five little toes on one foot, a sea star with five thick arms in a tide pool, and a star with five points. Page two asks five multiple-choice questions, three bubble choices each, every one answerable straight from the story. Page three is the answer key. The sentences are four to seven words long, so a beginning reader can carry a whole sentence in one breath.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A 53-word illustrated story and 5 multiple-choice questions
Three reasons this Things that come in 5s Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps kids learn: first, every question is answered by a sentence that is actually on the page, which teaches a beginning reader to go back and look rather than guess. Second, the number five appears in four different places — a hand, a foot, an animal, a shape — so the idea of five stops being one picture and starts being a quantity. Third, the fill-in-the-bubble format is the one a child will meet on every early assessment, practised here with only three gentle choices.
Teachers and parents can stretch the page in a few easy directions. Read the story aloud first while children count on their own fingers and toes. Ask them to point to the sentence that answers each question before they fill in a bubble. Hunt the room for other things that come in five, or draw a sea star and count its arms. Older siblings can write one more sentence for the story. A short morning circle where each child names something that comes in five turns the worksheet into a conversation.
