The Big Box Reading Comprehension Worksheets for Kindergarten

What your child practices

Your child reads the passage "The Big Box" and answers 8 questions across 2 worksheets, written for kindergarten readers. 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 set includes Reading Comprehension and Sequence of Events. It is aligned to Common Core RL.K.1, which focuses on asking and answering questions about key details in a story. 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

• Read the questions aloud for early readers, and let them point to the answer in the pictures or text.
• 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.
