About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension is the skill of understanding what you read, from the small details to the big changes a character goes through. This Three Meter Board Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders a short, exciting story to read closely and think about. Students meet Vanessa, a girl who loves to dive but feels nervous about the tall diving board at her neighborhood pool.
About the Worksheet
This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet starts with an original story of about 235 words and a full-color picture of the pool and its two diving boards. Students read how Vanessa makes a plan, practices on the low board, and finally climbs the ladder to the high board. On the next page, they answer four multiple-choice questions and one short-response question that asks them to explain, with two details, how Vanessa got over her fear. Students can work alone, with a partner, or in a small reading group.
What’s Included
- A one-page original story, “Three-Meter Board,” with a full-color picture
- Four multiple-choice questions about details, causes, and feelings
- One short-response question that asks for two details from the story
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, the questions send students back into the text to find details, which builds careful, close reading. Second, the inference question about Vanessa’s feelings helps children read between the lines. Third, the short response teaches students to back up an answer with evidence, a skill they will use on every reading test.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask children about a time they felt nervous to try something new. After they finish the three meter board reading comprehension worksheet, have them list the steps Vanessa took to get ready, then make their own step-by-step plan for a goal of their own. You can also use the story to talk about measurement, since it compares meters and feet.
