Twin Trouble Reading Comprehension Worksheets for 3rd Grade

What your child practices

"Twin Trouble" is a 3rd grade reading comprehension set (Grade 3 in Canada): 2 worksheets and 11 questions built around one short text. 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 sheets cover Reading Comprehension and Cause and Effect. Each sheet supports Common Core RL.3.1, covering asking and answering questions about key details in a story. It also touches RL.3.2, retelling a story and finding its central message. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to answer in full sentences, a habit teachers look for in upper elementary.
• 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.
