Riding the Bus Reading Comprehension Worksheet
The narrative places a child at the arrival of a large, noisy school bus and describes nervous observations of the driver, steps, seats, and unfamiliar faces. Spotting a friend and sitting together changes the experience from frightening to manageable and enjoyable. Five multiple-choice questions examine the activity, initial feeling, prior experience, familiar person, and final attitude. Page three repeats the questions without a direct answer-key label or visible completion, so no key is claimed.
