My Pet Dog Reading Comprehension Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet builds early reading comprehension for children ages 3-5 by having them read or listen to a short passage about a pet dog and then answer simple questions about what they understood. Moving beyond decoding individual words, this task requires children to hold information from the text in mind and use it to answer questions, an essential skill for comprehension that develops alongside basic reading fluency.

How to use this worksheet
Read the passage about the dog aloud together, pointing to each word as you go so your child can follow along. Ask your child to retell what happened in the passage in their own words before looking at the questions. Read each question aloud and have your child choose the correct answer based on what they remember from the passage, looking back at the text together if needed. Once the questions are answered, let your child color the picture of the dog to finish the page.
