Reading comprehension worksheet for kids featuring a story about Goldie the goldfish and related questions.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step based on the information provided in the passage about Goldie, the goldfish.

---

Passage Summary:

- Goldie is a goldfish.
- Her home is a fish bowl (also called an aquarium).
- She eats fish food and worms.
- She has fins and a tail.
- She swims in water, pushes stones, and blows bubbles.
- Her master wants to buy another fish — so she will have a friend.

Question 1: Where is Goldie? Circle the picture of Goldie.

Look at the five pictures:
1. Yellow fish with black stripes → Not a goldfish
2. Shark → No
3. Pufferfish → No
4. Yellow round fish with orange fins and a smiling face → ✔ This matches a goldfish
5. Starfish → No

✔ Answer: Circle the fourth picture (yellow fish with orange fins).

Question 2: True or False?

Let’s go one by one:

1. Goldie swims in the sea
✘ False – The passage says she lives in a fish bowl (not the sea). Goldfish are freshwater fish, usually kept in bowls or tanks.

2. Goldie has a friend
⭕ True – Her master wants to buy another fish, and “Goldie is happy to have a friend.” So, yes, she *will* have a friend (even if not yet present). But since it says “wants to buy” and “is happy to have,” it implies she will soon have a friend. So, True.

3. Goldie lives in an aquarium
✔ True – The passage says: “People call her fish bowl ‘aquarium’ sometimes.” So yes, she lives in an aquarium (a fish bowl).

4. There are small stones in the fish bowl
✔ True – “When Goldie plays, she pushes small stones at the bottom of her bowl.”

5. Goldie has fingers and a tail
✘ False – Fish don’t have fingers. They have fins and a tail. So, “fingers” is wrong. Only tail is correct.

6. Goldie’s master feeds her with fish food
✔ True – “She eats fish food and worms.” And her master is the one who feeds her.

Question 3: What body parts does Goldie have?

We need to check which body parts a goldfish has based on the passage and general knowledge.

From the passage: “Goldie has fins and a tail.”

Also, all fish have:
- Eyes
- Mouth
- Fins
- Tail
- Teeth (some fish have tiny teeth)
- No horns, beak, wings, fur, ears, claws, paws

Let’s go through each:

- ✔ eyes – Yes, fish have eyes.
- ✔ tail – Yes, mentioned in passage.
- ✘ teeth – Some fish have teeth, but not clearly mentioned; however, it's possible. But since it's not stated, maybe skip. But generally, fish have teeth. Let's assume it's acceptable.
- ✘ fur – No, fish don't have fur.
- ✘ horns – No.
- ✘ beak – No, that’s birds or turtles.
- ✔ fins – Yes, mentioned.
- ✔ mouth – Yes, fish eat, so they must have mouths.
- ✘ ears – Fish have inner ears, but no external ears like mammals. Not typically considered "ears" in kids' terms.
- ✘ wings – No, only birds/bats.
- ✘ claws – No.
- ✘ paws – No.

So, correct boxes to check:
- ☐ eyes → ✔
- ☐ tail → ✔
- ☐ teeth → 🟡 (maybe, but not clearly stated)
- ☐ fur → ✘
- ☐ horns → ✘
- ☐ beak → ✘
- ☐ fins → ✔
- ☐ mouth → ✔
- ☐ ears → ✘
- ☐ wings → ✘
- ☐ claws → ✘
- ☐ paws → ✘

✔ Correct answers: eyes, tail, fins, mouth

(“Teeth” might be debatable, but since not mentioned, better to skip.)

Question 4: What does Goldie like to eat? Circle the right pictures.

Goldie eats:
- Fish food (from the passage)
- Worms

Now look at the pictures:

1. Spider → ✘ (not mentioned)
2. Fish food container (with a fish symbol) → ✔ Yes!
3. Worm → ✔ Yes!
4. Small blue fish → ✘ (she doesn’t eat other fish, probably)
5. Plants/algae → ✘ (not mentioned)

✔ Circle the second (fish food) and third (worm) pictures.
