Lost in the Corn Maze Reading Comprehension Worksheets for 3rd Grade

What your child practices

These 2 worksheets pair the passage "Lost in the Corn Maze" with 12 questions for 3rd grade readers (Grade 3 in Canada). In upper elementary, students shift from learning to read to reading to learn, so answering questions with details from the text becomes the key skill. The set includes Comprehension and Sequencing. It is aligned to Common Core RL.3.1, which focuses on asking and answering questions about key details in a story. It also touches RL.3.2, 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. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to answer in full sentences, a habit teachers look for in upper elementary.
• Ask your child to underline the sentence that proves each answer. Finding evidence is the real skill.
• Talk about one new or tricky word from the passage and use it at dinner.
