This hard-level sheet introduces multiple choice reading comprehension for kindergartners ready for a challenge. Four multiple choice questions ask children to pick the main idea of a passage, identify a supporting detail sentence, and count how many details the passage contains. Five fill-in-the-blank questions reinforce the strategy of asking 'What is this mostly about?' to find the main idea and noticing how details back it up with facts.
