The Perfect Title

This worksheet helps students practice selecting the most accurate and appropriate title for short reading passages. Each passage presents a brief narrative scenario, followed by four possible titles. Students must determine which title best reflects the main idea and tone of the passage. The activity strengthens skills in identifying key details, summarizing meaning, and recognizing theme. Learners are encouraged to read closely and consider how titles shape understanding. This reinforces comprehension and improves judgment about textual relevance. Students also develop greater awareness of how authors use titles to signal purpose and content.
