Kindergarten reading worksheets with big 20-point print, passages of about 50 to 75 words, and short sentences built mostly from decodable words and common sight words. Stories include a windy day, a rainy-day puddle jump and a boy who watches a hopping bug; nonfiction covers frogs, the sun and honeybees; and there's a rhyming poem about a dog.
Each passage has six questions with three answer choices. Most kindergartners are still learning to read, so it's fine to read the passage aloud first and let your child follow along with a finger, then reread it together before the questions. By spring, many kids can read these on their own. When they're ready, try 1st grade reading worksheets, or build decoding skills with kindergarten phonics and kindergarten sight words.
Tips for using it
- Read it aloud first, then let your child point to the words as you read it again together.
- Ask questions out loud before your child bubbles an answer.
- Praise looking back at the story to find an answer. That's the skill.
Variations
All reading comprehension worksheetsQuestions
Can kindergartners do reading comprehension?
Yes. Comprehension starts with listening. Kindergartners can retell a story, answer who-what-where questions and say what a story is mostly about long before they read fluently, so reading the passage aloud is fine.
What should a kindergartner be able to read?
By the end of kindergarten, many children read simple CVC words, a set of common sight words and short decodable sentences. Children develop at different rates, so use the passage as practice, not a test.
