About this resource

Description

Reading comprehension is the skill of reading a text closely and then showing what it says. The Welcome to Washington Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives students a short non-fiction passage about a state and asks them to go back into the text for every answer. Students read about where Washington sits, what its land looks like, and what grows there, and then they answer questions that ask for recall, word meaning, main idea, and inference. That mix is exactly what a reading test asks a third grader to do.

This 3rd Grade Reading Comprehension Worksheet is printable and ready to use. Page one holds the passage and a full-colour illustration of the state. Page two holds four multiple-choice questions and one written response, with room for students to write. Page three is the answer key, so grading takes a minute. Print one copy per student, read the passage together or independently, and then let students work through the questions on their own.

What’s Included

  • A 225-word non-fiction passage written on a third-grade reading level
  • An original illustration of the state’s mountains, forests, rivers, and apple orchards
  • Four multiple-choice questions covering recall, vocabulary, main idea, and inference
  • One written response that asks students to use two details from the text
  • A complete answer key

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • Students practise finding text evidence instead of guessing from memory
  • The in-text vocabulary question teaches readers to use context to learn a new word
  • Short, clear sentences build reading stamina without frustrating a growing reader

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Use the Welcome to Washington Reading Comprehension Worksheet to open a unit on the fifty states, or pair it with a map activity so students can find the state, the ocean, and the mountains for themselves. Ask students to underline the sentence that answers each question before they fill in a bubble. In a small group, read the passage twice, once for the gist and once for detail. At home, have your child read the passage aloud to a family member and then teach them one new fact about the state.
