3rd grade reading comprehension free curriculum

For reading this year, I am going to have assigned books that my children have to read along with pages to make sure that they “comprehend” the story.  I do have a few children that will say, “Yes, I read it,”  but then later I find out that they did not.  This year I took the time to look up some reading comprehension questions and also wrote a few of my own to go along with their stories.

These were recommended books for 3rd grade reading.  Some are easier than others, I figured we would start out with the easy ones and then move up.  I will also encourage my child to choose books of her own from the library to continue reading throughout the week.    I will assign maybe one or two a week with the comprehension pages (depending on how hard/easy it is) and then they will read “fun” books of their choice.

I have included my PDF which has the story along with either questions to ask them or a note that says use downloaded pages.  I will print the pages off and keep in a folder.

Since my 3rd grader is just becoming a proficient reader, I am going to use more reading comprehension this year for her than other grades as she is learning.

If you do a Google search for “3rd grade reading comprehension free”  you can find many printable pages with stories.  I found over 140 days worth of printable stories and questions.—I copied them into my Microsoft Office and will print them off for her to read and answer.  I can’t share those as they are others, but if you do a little searching, you can find many free reading comprehensions out there.  It would be the equivalent to buying a reader and workbook like we had back in school.

I hope this will be of use to someone.  If not pass it along to someone whom you know could use it.  Be blessed today.  I will be having more reading comprehension up this week.
