About this resource
Description
Field day is one of the most exciting days of the school year, and this Tommy’s Field Day reading comprehension worksheet brings that excitement into a reading lesson. Students read a short story about Tommy, a boy who tries every event on field day, from the softball throw to the sack race to the relay. Then they answer questions about what happened and what the story shows about Tommy.
About This Worksheet
This 2nd grade reading comprehension worksheet opens with a soft watercolor picture of a sunny school field with a long jump sand pit, a blue ribbon, a relay baton and a softball, followed by a three-paragraph story. On the questions page, students answer four multiple choice questions about the setting, the events and the details of the story. A short written response asks what Tommy did after he fell in the sack race and what that shows about him, so students practice making an inference about a character. It also works well as a 2nd grade field day reading worksheet during the last weeks of school.
What’s Included
- One illustrated story passage about Tommy’s field day
- Four multiple choice comprehension questions
- One written response about a character trait
- A full answer key for quick checking
Why Kids Love It
First, the story is about a day most children look forward to all year, so they want to read it. Second, Tommy has ups and downs, and his choice to get up and keep going is easy to talk about. Third, the written response builds the habit of going back to the text to explain an answer.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the Tommy’s Field Day reading comprehension worksheet the week before your own field day, then have students list the events they want to try. After reading, ask children to share a time they kept going after a mistake. At home, pair the story with a backyard relay or sack race for a fun reading and movement break.
