Snow Check

About This Worksheet

This Grade 1 reading worksheet helps children decide whether statements match a short story about a snowy day. The passage explains that snow falls all morning, school is closed, Jake puts on his coat and boots, and he builds a snowman. Students then read three statements and choose Yes or No based on whether each one agrees with the story. This gives them simple practice checking details for accuracy.

Learning Goals

The main goal is to help children compare a statement with information in a passage. Students practice noticing whether the statement says the same thing as the story or changes an important detail. This builds careful reading and helps them learn to verify answers with the text. These skills support comprehension, fact checking, and attention to detail.

Student Tasks

Children read the snow-day passage carefully. They then read each statement and decide whether it matches the story. Students choose Yes when the statement is correct and No when it is not. They can reread the passage before every answer and point to the sentence that supports their choice.

Common Challenges

Some children may answer based on what they think usually happens on a snow day instead of what the passage says. Others may miss a key word such as open or closed. A parent or teacher can remind children to compare the statement word by word with the story.

Teaching Suggestions

Teachers can demonstrate how one changed word can make a statement incorrect. Parents and homeschool educators can ask, “What does the story actually say?” before the child marks Yes or No. It may help to underline the part of each statement that needs checking. Encourage students to prove each answer by finding the matching sentence in the passage.

Worksheet Features

The worksheet includes one short Grade 1 passage and three Yes-or-No comprehension statements. The winter topic is familiar and easy to picture, which helps children focus on the reading skill. The statements include both matching and nonmatching details for balanced practice. This printable works well for comprehension centers, homework, guided reading, or winter-themed lessons.
