As children grow their literacy skills, it\u2019s also important to work on their reading comprehension skills<\/a>, making sure they can not only read the words they\u2019re seeing, but decipher the meaning of those words as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our reading comprehension worksheets give children an opportunity to practice reading short passages and sentences and show their understanding of what they\u2019ve read. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Overview of the Reading Comprehension Worksheets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These reading comprehension worksheets give children a few different ways to practice their reading and reading comprehension skills. For example, children can read short poems and then show their understanding of the poem by drawing a picture to accompany it. Children learn at their own pace, and some may need helping reading these worksheets and may prefer answering the questions aloud rather than writing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50 Talk About the Story or Poem<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After your child finishes a worksheet, talk with them about what they read. Ask them what they liked or if there was anything they didn’t understand. This can help them think more about the story and gain clarity on anything they may not have followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50 Tell the Story or Poem Back<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After reading one of the poems or sentences on the worksheets, ask your child to summarize it in their own words. This is a great way for them to practice remembering what they\u2019ve read and for you to assess their understanding of the story or poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2b50 Relate to the Story<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After reading one of the sentences or poems in the worksheet, ask your child if it reminds them of anything that they\u2019ve experienced. For example, after reading the Sunflower Queen<\/em> or My Frog<\/em> poem, ask your child if they\u2019ve ever seen a real sunflower or held a frog before. Connecting what your child reads to real life can help give it more meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
