Spreading Joy Reading Worksheet

Students spreading joy and kindness

📖 Reading Passage: Spreading Joy in Our School

Read the passage below carefully, then answer the questions that follow.

Maya noticed that her classmate Alex looked sad during lunch. Instead of ignoring it, she decided to sit next to him and ask if he was okay. Alex shared that he was worried about an upcoming math test. Maya offered to help him study after school, and by the end of lunch, Alex was smiling again.

This simple act of kindness didn't go unnoticed. Their teacher, Mrs. Johnson, saw what happened and was inspired by Maya's compassion. She decided to start a "Kindness Club" where students could share ways to spread joy throughout their school.

Soon, other students joined in. Some wrote encouraging notes to classmates, others helped younger students with their backpacks, and a few organized a coat drive for families in need. What started as one moment of caring grew into a school-wide movement of spreading joy and making everyone feel valued and supported.
