About this worksheet

The Grade 1 standards include reading informational text of appropriate complexity with prompting and support. A worksheet cannot replace adult listening, discussion, or a classroom read-aloud, but it can provide short nonfiction passages and concrete comprehension checks. This page uses brief grade-level texts with familiar science and social studies content. Children answer literal questions, identify a topic, choose a meaning for a word from the passage, and select a sentence that the text supports. Support pages use two short sentences. Standard and challenge pages add a third sentence and slightly richer vocabulary. The purpose is broad informational reading stamina, not one narrow skill. Ask children to read the passage twice, first to get the gist and again to find proof for the answer.

What your child will learn

  • Read short nonfiction passages
  • Answer literal questions
  • Use passage vocabulary
  • Build informational reading stamina
