Free Kindergarten Read and Match: Simple Sentences Worksheet
Children read one short sentence at a time, such as The fish is in the tank, and answer a who, what or where question about it. Then they pick the sentence that makes sense from three choices, spotting silly or jumbled ones. This early reading comprehension worksheet helps children read for meaning, not just sound out words.
Print the PDF or complete it on screen. Write the student's name and date at the top.
Read the instructions for each part together before starting. Encourage working to be shown.
Mark with the answer sheet. Use the model answers and success criteria as a guide rather than a single right answer.
Record the score, celebrate what went well, then follow the "What's next" suggestion.
