About this resource
Description
Oregon sits in the Pacific Northwest, where the land runs from ocean beaches to snowy mountain peaks. This welcome to Oregon reading comprehension worksheet introduces third graders to the Beaver State through an original nonfiction passage written at a 3rd grade reading level. Students learn about the state capital, the pioneers who traveled the Oregon Trail, the Cascade Range, Crater Lake, the hazelnut farms and the rocky coast with its tall sea stacks. Reading about a real place helps children connect geography and history to the reading skills they practice every day.
The worksheet opens with a one-page passage paired with a full-color illustration of the Oregon coast. On the next page, students answer four multiple-choice questions that ask them to find a cause, name the main idea, use context to define a new word and recall an important detail. A short-response question then asks them to use two details from the text in a written answer. Teachers can use it for guided reading, a literacy center, a social studies lesson or homework, and the answer key makes checking quick.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Original nonfiction passage about Oregon with an illustration
- 4 multiple-choice questions and 1 short-response question
- Answer key
This 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet helps kids in three ways. First, it builds the skill of going back to the text to find evidence, since every question is answered in the passage. Second, the definition question shows students how an author explains a new word, like sea stacks, right in the sentence. Third, the short response gives them practice writing a complete answer with two supporting details, a skill they will use on state reading tests.
Before reading, find Oregon on a map and point out the Pacific Ocean, Salem and the Cascade Range. After reading, have children compare Oregon with their own state, draw a map of the Oregon Trail, or make a travel poster of the coast. Pair this welcome to Oregon reading comprehension worksheet with other state passages to build a class travel journal.
