About this resource
Description
Every class has a day when someone forgets to be kind, and this Wicked Wilma reading comprehension worksheet turns that moment into a gentle lesson. Students read a short story about Wilma, a girl who sticks her tongue out at the bus driver, cuts in line, and will not share. When no one wants to play with her at recess, a classmate shares half of her orange, and Wilma decides to change. Then students answer questions about what happened and why.
About This Worksheet
This 2nd grade reading comprehension worksheet opens with a gouache picture of the empty playground bench where Wilma sat alone, followed by a four-paragraph story. On the questions page, students answer four multiple choice questions and write a short response that names two kind things Wilma did to show how she changed. The story also works as a 2nd grade character education worksheet, a lesson about saying sorry, sharing, and taking turns.
What’s Included
- One illustrated story passage about Wicked Wilma
- Four multiple choice comprehension questions
- One written response that asks for text evidence
- A full answer key for quick checking
Why Kids Love It
First, children enjoy a story with a clear before and after, so they read closely to see how Wilma turns around. Second, the kind acts in the story, like waiting a turn and sharing crayons, are small choices kids can make the very same day. Third, the written response builds the habit of going back to the text to find details that support an answer.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After reading, talk about how the girl on the bench helped Wilma change, and have students list ways they can include a classmate who is alone. Invite children to write a short sorry card or a kindness note of their own. At home, the Wicked Wilma reading comprehension worksheet is an easy way to start a conversation about how our words and actions make other people feel.
