Reading Comprehension Skills Worksheet
The Lantern in the Shed
When Maia arrived at her uncle’s coastal cottage for the weekend, she noticed a thin line of light beneath the door of the old garden shed. The shed was usually locked, and her uncle had said it was too cluttered to explore. She asked him about the light, but he only glanced towards the window and said, “We’ll see what the tide brings in tonight.” Later, the wind picked up and rain tapped against the cottage roof. Maia was about to settle down with a book when she heard three sharp knocks from outside. Her uncle stood up at once. He took a brass key from the mantelpiece and handed Maia a torch. “Stay close,” he said, opening the back door. Across the dark garden, the shed’s light flickered once, then went out.
