Matilda Comprehension Worksheet
Matilda and the Library Card
Matilda loved the quiet corner of the town library. While other children hurried outside after school, she often stayed to read. One rainy Tuesday, she found a book about stars and carried it to the desk. “I’ve read all the books on this shelf,” she told the librarian, Mrs Phelps. “Could I borrow this one too?” Mrs Phelps looked surprised, then smiled. “You may need a library card first. Let’s get one made.” She helped Matilda fill in the form and showed her how to care for the book. Matilda tucked it safely into her bag, away from the rain. At home, Matilda’s father glanced at the book. “That looks difficult,” he said, turning back to the television. Matilda did not argue. She opened the book and began to read. Soon, she was tracing the paths of planets with her finger and wondering how far away the stars might be. The next week, Matilda returned the book on time. She told Mrs Phelps that she had learned why some stars looked brighter than others. Then she asked for a book about the Moon. Mrs Phelps pointed her towards the right shelf. Matilda walked over, already thinking of the questions she might find answers to.
