About This Free Boy Reading Comprehension Worksheet for Kids
One page, one method — that is the whole of this free boy reading comprehension worksheet. A name and date line runs across the top, a coloured title band names the activity, and one line of instructions sits beneath it. At Kidzolearn, every worksheet is 100% free to download and print — no login, no subscription, no payment required.
The passage is 4 lines long, written third person, about a named person, and tells a child that the boy is Deep, that he likes water, that he swims every Monday, and that he swims well. Three multiple-choice questions follow, each with three options.
The same character as the pilot passage, which makes these two the only sheets in the set that share a person. A child who has read both knows more about Deep than either passage says alone. Ask whether this is the same Deep as the pilot. There is no way to be certain from the text, and saying so is a perfectly good answer. For more early maths in the same style, see our math worksheets for kindergarten, and the full library sits on our free printable worksheets for kids.

Yes! Every worksheet on Kidzolearn is 100% free — no subscription, no login and no payment required at any time. Simply click the download button, save the PDF and print it instantly at home or in the classroom.
At what age should children start using this boy reading comprehension worksheet?
Around three to read together, and around five to read alone. The useful check for independent use is whether your child can sound out simple words without stopping at every one. If they can, hand them this boy reading comprehension worksheet and let them work through it; if not, read it together and ask the questions afterwards.
How does this worksheet help children build reading comprehension skills?
This worksheet uses a short, simple passage about a boy followed by three multiple choice questions. Reading the passage builds fluency and vocabulary, while answering the questions builds recall, understanding, and confidence — the three core skills behind strong reading comprehension.
Is reading comprehension part of the official early years curriculum?
Yes — answering questions about a short text appears in early years literacy curricula across India, the UK, the US and Australia. It always sits after word recognition rather than alongside it, because a child who is still working out each word has no attention left for the meaning. Our free printable coloring pages cover the word recognition that has to come first.
Can I use these worksheet at home?
Absolutely! This worksheet is completely free to download and print at home. All you need is a printer and a pencil — no cost, no sign-up and no login required. You can print it as many times as your child needs.
