Kindergarten Reading Worksheet - Building Confidence
Read each story. Circle the place where it happens.
We see a lion and a giraffe behind the fence.
The bell rings. The children sit at their desks and listen to the teacher.
Waves wash over the sand, and we build a castle.
The doctor looks at a boy with a sore arm.
Dad buys bread and milk and pays at the front.
The firefighters slide down the pole to the big red truck.
The setting of a story is where it happens, and a child can often tell the setting from small clues in a sentence even when the place is never named. A bell and desks mean a school, waves and sand mean a beach, a slide and swings mean a park. On this page every item is the same job: a very short story of one or two sentences, and a row of three pictures of places, and the child circles the place where the story happens.
The place is never named in the story, so the child has to use the clues. The wrong places are ones the child knows well, such as the barn or the hospital, so a guess is a real choice. After the page, play a game: describe a place with three clues and let your child guess where you are. Reading clues is the same skill whether the text is a story or a picture.
Common Core standard: RL.K.3
The story says: waves wash over the sand, and we build a castle. Waves and sand are at the beach, so circle the beach.

Look for clues in the story. What would you see, hear or do at each place?
