Kindergarten Reading Comprehension Decodable Passages

Item description

This is a set of reading comprehension worksheets designed for kindergarten. They have decodable passages perfect for beginning readers! The stories slowly increase in difficulty as you move through them.

The following features help build reading skills:

• Fluency Practice – Students are encouraged to read the text 3 times with stars to color each time they read.

• Picture Support – Simple illustrations help provide context.

• Text-Based Comprehension Questions – Students will refer back to the text to answer three questions per story.

• Sight Words – All passages include common kindergarten sight words.

• Skill Application – Each passage also includes a skill activity such as coloring a picture to match information provided in the story or writing a sight word found in the text.

• Text Talk – Every passage (in version A) includes a “Talk About The Text” activity. This is designed to encourage parent involvement with the adult asking the child questions about what they read. These questions involve making inferences or interpreting the text in some way.
