About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension grows when students read a lively story and then go back to the text to prove their answers. The Wild Grape Jelly Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders an original story about a girl named Kendall who finds wild grapes on a fence and turns them into jelly with her grandma. Students read closely, learn new words from context and retell the steps of a process in order.
About This Worksheet
Page one holds the full story and a soft watercolor illustration of Grandma’s kitchen counter, with a big pot of grape juice, a bucket of wild grapes and three jars of fresh jelly. Page two asks four multiple-choice questions and one short-response question that sends students back to the story for the steps Kendall and Grandma followed. Students can read on their own or with a partner, mark the sentences that answer each question, and then write their response on the lines.
What’s Included
- An original 3rd grade story about making wild grape jelly
- Four multiple-choice questions with fill-in bubbles
- One short-response question about the steps in a process
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, every question can be answered from the text, so students practice finding evidence instead of guessing. Second, two questions ask what the words tart and pectin mean, which builds the habit of using context clues to understand new words. Third, the story models a safe and smart habit: Kendall waits for a grown-up who knows plants before she tastes anything she finds outdoors.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, ask students where the fruit in their favorite jelly or jam comes from. After reading, have them number each step Grandma and Kendall follow, from picking the grapes to spreading jelly on toast. Use the wild grape jelly reading comprehension worksheet as a 3rd grade reading comprehension worksheet in a literacy center, a science lesson about plants and food, or for homework, and invite students to write the steps for a simple snack they know how to make.
