Priya's Big Report 3rd Grade Reading Comprehension

About this worksheet

Priya has worked all week on a report about sea turtles, and on Friday she has to read it in front of the class. Her hands shake, her teacher suggests three slow breaths, a friend gives her a thumbs-up, and it goes fine. Plenty of third graders know that feeling, which makes this an easy story to talk about afterwards.

The four questions are multiple choice with three options each. Question two never uses the word nervous in the passage, so a child has to get there from shaky hands and a stomach full of butterflies, which is a gentle first step into reading how a character feels rather than being told.

What students will practice

• Choose the best answer using details from the story
• Identify how a character feels and what shows it
• Recall what other characters did to help
