Description
Learning to talk about the times of the day is one of the first real-world math skills a young reader ever uses, and this What Time is This Reading Comprehension Worksheet brings that skill together with reading practice on a single page. Children hear a familiar routine — waking up, walking to school, eating lunch, playing outside, sitting down to dinner, and heading to bed — and each moment is anchored to an o’clock time they can picture. Because the times are woven into a story instead of listed on a worksheet grid, students learn that 7 o’clock, 12 o’clock, and 9 o’clock describe real parts of their own day. That connection is what makes telling time stick.
This telling time reading comprehension worksheet is a three-page printable built for first grade. Page one holds an original 111-word story about a boy named Edward and the six o’clock times that shape his day, illustrated with a bright clay-style scene of Edward walking to school. Page two holds five fill-in-the-bubble questions that ask students to go back into the text and find the answer. Page three is the complete answer key. Read the story aloud together first, then let students reread it on their own before they answer. Encourage them to point to the sentence that proves each answer — that habit is the beginning of citing text evidence.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 1 original 111-word first grade reading passage about o’clock times
- 5 fill-in-the-bubble comprehension questions with three choices each
There are three clear reasons this What Time is This Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps children learn. First, it builds reading stamina at exactly the right level: the passage is written and measured to first grade readability, with short sentences and familiar words, so students can decode it independently and still feel successful. Second, it strengthens comprehension by asking recall, sequence, and detail questions rather than yes-or-no questions, so students must return to the text to answer. Third, it grows time vocabulary painlessly — morning, lunch time, after school, dinner, and bedtime all appear beside the hour that matches them, giving children a mental timeline they can carry into a lesson on reading an analog clock.
Teachers and parents can stretch this page in plenty of fun ways. Ask students to draw their own daily schedule and label each picture with an o’clock time, then read it aloud to a partner. Set a demonstration clock to each time in the story and move the hands as you reread it together. Play a quick sorting game where children decide whether an activity happens in the morning, the afternoon, or at night. For a writing extension, have students rewrite the last line of the story about their own bedtime routine. Small-group teachers can also use the questions as a running comprehension check across the week.
