What this worksheet teaches

• Compare two characters or two facts described in the same passage.
• Find the main idea of a paragraph and separate it from supporting detail.
• Answer questions using evidence quoted from the passage rather than memory or opinion.
• Put the events of a passage in sequence, using signal words like first, then and finally.

How to use this worksheet

For inference questions, ask what the character did and what that usually means. Feelings are almost never stated at this level, and looking for the action is the reliable route to the answer.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Who had a garden?
2. Where was the garden?

Frequently asked questions

How many times should the passage be read?

Twice is normal at Grade 3: once for the story, once for the answers. Rereading is a strategy, not a sign of weakness.

Should my child write in full sentences?

For most comprehension marking, yes - and it also forces them to reread the question, which prevents half-answers.

What is an inference question?

One whose answer is not written down but is clear from the clues, such as how a character feels. They are the questions Grade 3 children most often need practice with.
