Decodable Reading Passages with Comprehension Questions 1st Grade

• short decodable passages

• common first grade sight words

• large, easy-to-read font

• three text-based comprehension questions per story

• built-in fluency practice

Comprehension

Each decodable story has two multiple choice questions and one short response. The multiple choice comprehension questions have two possible answer choices with large “bubble” circles for students to color to indicate their answer. Great practice for future standardized testing.

Fluency

These worksheets encourage repeated reading which helps build fluency. Students are prompted to read the passage 3 times, coloring a smiley face each time, before answering the questions.

These reading comprehension passages can be used for homework, assessment, or guided practice during your reading groups. They are also great for remediation and intervention with lower-level second graders.

• 15 decodable reading passages with comprehension questions (in 2 versions)

• 56 sight word cards

• Answer keys

Each passage is provided in two versions:

• Version A – Includes space for parent initials to use as homework

• Version B – Includes space for a score/grade to use as classwork or assessment

There is also set of word cards containing sight words found in the stories. These cards can used as flashcards to help students build automaticity. I suggest pre-teaching (or reviewing) these words before having students complete the reading comprehension worksheet.
