Reading Comprehension Grade 7 - Realistic Fiction: Friends & Choices Passage Pack with Questions & Key

Build comprehension one short text at a time. The "Realistic Fiction: Friends and Choices" pack for Grade 7 gives a seventh grader 8 original passages (8 stories) plus 40 questions that practice character, inference and theme.

The passages: Whose Poster Is It?; Seat Eleven; Golden Seams; Two Invitations; Typing; Reading Out Loud; The Thermos Lid; The Camera Strap.

Texts run from 249 to 286 words (about 263 on average) and are set in Lora serif print for passages with Atkinson Hyperlegible for questions. Each of the 8 passages fills its own page, and its questions sit on the next page so the text never feels cramped.

Across the pack there are 40 questions: 32 multiple-choice items (four choices each) and 8 written-response items with lines for the answer. The skills covered are character, inference, theme, vocabulary in context, detail, cause and effect and tone.

A peek at the questions - "Reading Out Loud" asks: In the first paragraph, the word careless (“a bright, careless smile”) is used to describe a smile that (answer A: looks relaxed but hides a worry). Short-answer example, "Two Invitations": What does the last sentence mean? Explain what Rosa learned. The key gives this sample response: Rosa learned that being honest and clear, even if the solution is not perfect, feels better than being vague and avoiding a hard choice.

Your download is a single ZIP holding the 18-page worksheet PDF twice, sized for US Letter and for A4. An answer key (3 pages) sits in the same ZIP as its own PDF: correct letters with the answer words, sample written answers, and a skill label beside each number. A cover page lists every title with its skills and page numbers, and a closing page holds a score tracker and a skills check for the student. An Editable folder with a DOCX file of all passages and questions is included too, without the answer key, so you can adapt wording or add your own items.

Slip a passage into a sub plan or an early-finisher folder. Reuse the PDF as often as you like for your own children or classroom. Read together aloud, then let the child answer alone.

Print at home, at a copy shop, or view on a tablet.

Works with Any PDF reader.
