Reading comprehension worksheet generator
Type a topic, pick a grade level, and get a printable reading comprehension worksheet: a fresh passage written for that level, a vocabulary box, multiple-choice and short-answer questions, and an answer key on its own page.
Tips for using it
Match the topic to your unit
Use the topic you're teaching this week, from the water cycle to the Revolutionary War, so reading practice also reviews content.
Differentiate with one click
Make the same topic at two or three reading levels so every group reads about the same thing at a level that fits.
Mix question types
Multiple-choice questions check recall; the short-answer questions ask for the main idea and inferences. Use both for a fuller picture.
Check the facts
Passages are written by AI. Read informational texts and biographies before handing them out, and fix anything that doesn't match your curriculum.
