Seal Story Comprehension Worksheet
Read the story carefully. Then answer the questions using details from the story and your own thinking.
On Saturday morning, Maia heard a strange sneeze outside. She looked through the window and spotted a young seal on the paved area beside her home. Its dark, damp fur glistened in the sun, and its whiskers twitched as it rested beside a pot plant.
Maia called to her brother, Tom. They were surprised, but they remembered to keep their distance. Their dad gently asked everyone to stay indoors so the seal would not feel crowded. The family watched quietly from the window while Dad contacted wildlife experts for advice.
The rescuer explained that seals sometimes come ashore to rest. The seal did not need to be pushed or carried back to the sea. After a while, it lifted its head, gave a loud bark, and shuffled towards the end of the driveway. The family stayed well back as it made its own way down the path and towards the beach.
By lunchtime, the seal had disappeared from view. Maia felt relieved that it had left safely. She was glad the family had watched without disturbing their unexpected visitor.
