Use the filter above to narrow the results by resource type and/or grade level.

These reading comprehension resources are built around short texts followed by direct, written questions.

Each set includes a reading passage and a mix of question types, such as recall, short written responses, and questions that ask students to explain meaning or refer back to the text. Some worksheets also include true/false sections and comparison-style questions.

Across the collection, the level of the text and the questions increases from early primary through to upper primary. Earlier sets keep the reading simple and the questions short, while later sets require longer responses and closer attention to what the text is saying.

Some worksheets focus on a specific comprehension strategy (summarising, main idea, inferring, cause & effect, comparing, fact vs opinion, creating images & more). Other worksheets are simply reading passages with general comprehension questions and activities.

You’ll also find worksheets that combine comprehension with grammar or language tasks, where students shift from reading into writing or word-level work based on the same text.
