Firefighters Word Bank Reading Comprehension Grade 1

About this worksheet

Firefighters work at a fire station, pull on coats, boots and helmets when the alarm rings, ride a big red truck and spray water on the fire with long hoses. It is a short nonfiction passage that fits neatly alongside a community helpers unit.

Five sentences underneath are each missing one word, and the word bank holds six. School is the extra, and it sounds plausible enough that a child cannot finish by elimination alone, so each blank gets checked against the passage. Prints in black and white, and the firefighter can be colored in afterwards.

What students will practice

• Read a short nonfiction passage about community helpers
• Use a word bank to complete sentences
• Match each blank to a sentence in the text
