Reading Practice: Leveled Stories with Comprehension Questions
Parents and guardians,
This section below has short reading passages, with comprehension questions at the end. Since there are passages at differing grade levels, I suggest two ways in which you and your child could go about working in this section:
BASIC PRACTICE: Just have your child complete the sheets as you choose.
GETTING AN APPROXIMATE READING LEVEL: Would you like a better idea how your child reads and understands passages designed at various grade levels?
Have your child read the second grade story first. If you have to help him or or read more than, say, 4-5 words, then try the first grade story. Reading a passage with 100-or-so words with more than five reading errors or cues for help indicates that the passage is too difficult to read.
Once your child has read a story to you with minimal errors, have them answer the questions. If all the questions are anwered correctly, AND the story was read with less than 3 mistakes, then move UP a grade level and repeat the process.
This is NOT the official way to get a reading level, but it can certainly give you an idea to your child's ability to read and understand passages!
Also, keep in mind that there are MANY opportunities for reading practice using the "Learning Links/Independent Practice" tab above!
