Description
The Too Much Soda Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third grade readers a short nonfiction passage about soda and a full page of comprehension questions to answer with evidence from the text. Reading comprehension is the skill of holding a whole passage in mind while you read it, then going back to the words on the page to explain what the writer said and why it matters. This printable builds that habit with a 233-word passage written at a third grade reading level, four multiple choice questions, a vocabulary item, and one short written response.
The passage in the Too Much Soda Reading Comprehension Worksheet explains where the fizz in soda comes from, how much sugar a single can holds, why the quick burst of energy from sugar fades so fast, and what sugar does to teeth over time. It closes on a positive note: water and milk are the everyday drinks, soda is a treat for a party, and a cold jug of water with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint is easy to keep in the fridge. Students read the passage on page one, then turn to page two and answer the questions with the passage beside them or set aside, whichever suits your readers.
What’s Included
- A one-page illustrated nonfiction passage at a third grade reading level
- Four multiple choice questions on cause and effect, inference and main idea
- One vocabulary-in-context item using a science word from the passage
- One short written response asking for evidence from the text
- A complete answer key
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- The questions ask why and how, not just what, so students have to think past recall.
- The word cavity is defined inside the passage, which teaches readers to use context.
- The written response gives students practice pointing at the sentence that proves an answer.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the passage aloud once as a class, then let students reread it silently before they pick up a pencil. Ask them to underline the sentence that answers each question, which turns the page into evidence practice instead of guessing. This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet also fits a health, nutrition or human body unit in science, and it works well in a small group or as a quick homework page. Finish by having students list the drinks in their own kitchen and sort them into everyday drinks and sometimes drinks. The answer key is included, so families can check the work at home.
