Broken Computer – Reading Comprehension Worksheet – 3rd Grade Practice

The Broken Computer – Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third grade students focused, no-prep practice with reading comprehension. It is a print-and-go reading page that fits easily into a mini-lesson, a center rotation, or a quick review day.

Learning objective: Students will review reading comprehension, practice it in context, and show what they know in a way that is easy for the teacher to check.

Why it works: Short, focused practice is one of the best ways to help third grade students remember a new skill. Clear directions mean students can get started quickly, and the simple format makes it easy for you to spot who needs more help.

What's included:

• 2-page printable worksheet

• Answer key (1 page)

• Cover page

How it's organized: Short, student-friendly directions sit at the top of the page, followed by practice items that move from simple to more challenging.

Grade level: Designed for third grade students. It also works well for second grade and fourth grade students who need extra practice or a fresh review.

How to use it: Assign it after a mini-lesson, use it in a small group, send it home as homework, keep it in your sub folder, or use it as a quick formative check.

Answer key: An answer key is included, so you can check work quickly or let students self-correct.

Teaching tips and variations:
