What is it Made of? Reading Comprehension Worksheet – 3rd Grade

The What is it Made of? Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third grade students focused, no-prep practice with matter. 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 matter, practice it in context, and show what they know in a way that is easy for the teacher to check.

Why it works: Students stay on task because the directions are short and the practice is the right size for one sitting. Teachers save time because the page is ready to print and easy to check.

What's included:

• 2-page printable worksheet

• Answer key (1 page)

• Cover page

How it's organized: The page starts with clear directions so students know exactly what to do, then gives them focused practice items to complete in order.

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.
