About this resource
Description
Kids love watching cartoons, but most have never stopped to ask how a cartoon actually moves. This Watching Cartoons Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives 2nd grade readers a short informational passage that explains the idea in kid-friendly words: a cartoon is really many still pictures, called frames, shown very fast.
About This Worksheet
Students read a 167-word passage about how artists draw each frame just a tiny bit different from the one before, and how our eyes blend the frames together so a ball seems to bounce. The passage ends with a simple flip book test that children can try at home or in class. A cozy watercolour picture of a desk, an open notepad, and colored pencils sits above the text. On the next page, students answer four multiple choice questions and write a two-part answer that uses evidence from the text.
What’s Included
- One illustrated 2nd grade informational reading passage
- Four multiple choice comprehension questions
- One written response question that asks for text evidence
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds reading comprehension with a nonfiction text on a topic children already care about. Second, the questions ask students to find vocabulary, steps, and causes right in the passage, which is key test-prep practice. Third, the watching cartoons reading comprehension worksheet connects reading to a real hands-on activity, so the learning sticks.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the passage together, then let children make their own flip book from a small notepad to see the frames come to life. Ask students to explain in their own words why the ball seems to bounce. You can also use this 2nd grade reading comprehension worksheet as a center, homework, or a quick check of nonfiction reading skills. The answer key makes grading easy.
