Snow Day Business Reading Comprehension Worksheets for 4th Grade

What your child practices

Your child reads the passage "Snow Day Business" and answers 9 questions across 2 worksheets, written for 4th grade readers (Grade 4 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 sheets cover Reading Comprehension and Written Response. Each sheet supports Common Core RL.4.1, covering asking and answering questions about key details in a story. It also touches RL.4.2, retelling a story and finding its central message. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. 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.
• After the last question, ask for a two sentence retell of "Snow Day Business" in their own words.
• If an answer is wrong, send your child back to the text rather than giving the answer.
