What this worksheet teaches

• Make a simple prediction about what happens next and give a reason from the text.
• Read aloud with attention to full stops, question marks and expression.
• Read a short passage and answer literal questions about who, what and where.
• Put the events of a story in the order they happened.

How to use this worksheet

For every answer, ask your child to point at the line in the passage that proves it. This single habit is the difference between comprehension marks and confident guessing, and it transfers to every future reading test.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. What did Sara plant?
2. Where did she plant it?

Frequently asked questions

My child reads well but answers questions wrongly. Why?

Decoding and comprehending are separate skills. Slowing the reading down and having them retell the passage in their own words before answering usually closes the gap.

Should I read the passage to my child?

Only if independent reading is still very hard. Otherwise let them read and support only on stuck words, so the comprehension work stays theirs.

Do the answers need full sentences?

Short answers are acceptable at Grade 2, but writing one full sentence for at least the main-idea question is good preparation for later grades.
