The Sleepover Reading Comprehension Worksheets for 1st Grade

What your child practices

"The Sleepover" is a 1st grade reading comprehension set (Grade 1 in Canada): 2 worksheets and 12 questions built around one short text. Early readers build comprehension by retelling, spotting key details and talking about what happened, so short passages with simple questions are ideal at this stage. The sheets cover Reading Comprehension and Sequence of Events. The skill matches Common Core RL.1.1, the standard for asking and answering questions about key details in a story. It also touches RL.1.2, retelling a story and finding its central message. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Read the questions aloud for early readers, and let them point to the answer in the pictures or text.
• Talk about one new or tricky word from the passage and use it at dinner.
• Read the passage together first, then let your child answer the questions on their own.
