Kids Who Code Reading Comprehension Worksheets for 5th Grade

What your child practices

"Kids Who Code" is a 5th grade reading comprehension set (Grade 5 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. Inside you will find Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary in Context. Each sheet supports Common Core RL.5.1, covering asking and answering questions about key details in a story. It also touches RL.5.2, retelling a story and finding its central message. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. 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.
• After the last question, ask for a two sentence retell of "Kids Who Code" in their own words.
• If an answer is wrong, send your child back to the text rather than giving the answer.
