What your child practices

"The Red Hat" is a kindergarten reading comprehension set: 2 worksheets and 8 questions built around one short text. 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. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

  • Read the questions aloud for early readers, and let them point to the answer in the pictures or text.
  • If an answer is wrong, send your child back to the text rather than giving the answer.
  • Ask your child to underline the sentence that proves each answer. Finding evidence is the real skill.
