Preschool Reading Comprehension Worksheets

About This Worksheet Collection

The Preschool Reading Comprehension collection introduces young learners to the foundations of literacy through engaging, hands-on stories and activities. Each worksheet promotes listening comprehension, vocabulary growth, and word-picture association while fostering curiosity about the world. Learners explore familiar themes-animals, family, emotions, and community-through simple stories designed to build understanding, recall, and connection between words and ideas.

These interactive exercises encourage children to match, draw, color, and respond to short narratives, helping them connect spoken and printed language with meaning. By integrating early concepts from science, social studies, and emotional learning, the collection supports whole-child development. Teachers can use these worksheets for guided listening, read-aloud comprehension, or independent practice to prepare preschoolers for kindergarten reading readiness and confident language use.

Detailed Descriptions Of These Worksheets

Barnyard Animal Match
Students listen to or read a short farm story and match animal names to pictures of cows, pigs, and hens. This activity builds early vocabulary, comprehension, and text-to-image association skills through repetition and recognition.
