Description
Learning the days of the week is one of the first calendar skills a kindergartner meets, and it is also one of the first reasons a young child has to read carefully for details. This what day is this reading comprehension worksheet puts both together in one short, friendly story. Mia checks her class calendar and remembers what she did on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then tells the reader what today is and what comes next. Children have to hold the order of the week in their heads while they read, which is exactly the thinking a calendar lesson is trying to build.
Page one holds the fifty-word story in large print with a full-color classroom scene underneath. Page two asks five multiple-choice questions, each with three answer choices and a bubble to fill in, so early readers can show what they understood without having to write sentences yet. Use this what day is this reading comprehension worksheet during your morning calendar routine, as a small-group reading activity, as homework after a days-of-the-week lesson, or as a quick comprehension check. A complete answer key is the last page.
What’s Included
- A large-print, fifty-word story about a week at school
- An original watercolor classroom scene with a wall calendar
- Five multiple-choice questions with three fill-in-the-bubble choices each
- Practice naming the days of the week in order
- A full answer key on the final page
This kindergarten calendars worksheet helps young learners in three ways. First, the story is short enough to finish in one sitting, so children build reading stamina without getting discouraged. Second, every question can be answered straight from the text, which teaches beginners to look back at the story instead of guessing. Third, the questions mix detail recall with day order, so children practice reading and calendar thinking at the same time.
Teachers and parents can extend the lesson in simple ways. Point to your own classroom or kitchen calendar and ask what Mia would have done on that square. Have children retell the story in order using their fingers for the days. Or ask each child to say one thing they did yesterday, one thing they are doing today, and one thing they will do tomorrow. Each idea keeps the practice short, spoken, and tied to a real week.
