Reading Comprehension: Sharks by Alison Ballance

About:

This printable reading-comprehension worksheet for 5th graders pairs with Alison Ballance's "Sharks" and includes 15 questions ranging from factual recall (shark skeleton material, New Zealand species) to inference and critical thinking (why counter-shading helps sharks hunt, whether sharks have an unfair reputation). A vocabulary unscramble and visual-literacy question round out the set. Use for guided reading, independent practice, or comprehension assessment.
