This skill leads to fluency which helps students read quickly and more accurately. Students now start to understand the differences between fiction and nonfiction. Students are at the age where they can provide evidence for the statements that they make in their writing. These worksheets provide students with third grade level appropriate reading passages and then asks them to answer a series of questions that come straight from the passage.
