The Pet Show Reading Comprehension Worksheets for Kindergarten

What your child practices

Your child reads the passage "The Pet Show" 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 sheets cover Reading Comprehension and Sequence of Events. Each sheet supports Common Core RL.K.1, covering asking and answering questions about key details in a story. It also touches RL.K.3, describing characters, settings and major events in a story. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. 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.
• 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.
