What is reading comprehension?
Reading comprehension is the ability to read a text, understand it and use that understanding. A reader who has it can say what a passage is mainly about, find the details that matter, work out what the writer hints at and explain an answer in their own words. Every school subject is learned by reading, so the skill helps well beyond English lessons.
Reading comprehension by grade
The skill is the same from year to year, but the passages get longer and the questions ask for more. Choose the grade your child is in:
- 4th grade reading comprehension worksheets: finding the main idea of a passage or a paragraph, and more.
- 5th grade reading comprehension worksheets: working out meaning that is hinted at but not stated (inference), and more.
- 6th grade reading comprehension worksheets: finding the main idea and the details that support it, and more.
- 7th grade reading comprehension worksheets: inferring feelings, motives and reasons from what a passage shows, and more.
- 8th grade reading comprehension worksheets: reading longer passages and keeping track of the main points, and more.
