Ordinary Day Reading Comprehension

Read the story, then answer the questions. Look for clues in the words and pictures you imagine as you read.

A Very Ordinary Tuesday

Hudson woke to the sound of rain tapping on her window. “Just an ordinary Tuesday,” she said, pulling on her socks. One sock had a tiny hole in the toe, but Hudson decided it was no big deal. At breakfast, a piece of toast landed butter-side up on the floor. Their dog, Pip, sniffed it, then sneezed so loudly that Dad dropped his spoon. Hudson giggled and gave Pip a fresh biscuit instead. On the walk to school, Hudson spotted a bright yellow gumboot sitting all alone beside a puddle. She picked it up and carried it to the school office. “Someone might be missing this,” she said. At lunchtime, Hudson’s class found a tiny green frog near the garden. Their teacher helped everyone watch quietly while the frog hopped under a leafy plant. Hudson thought about the lonely gumboot. Maybe its owner had been looking for it all morning. After school, a younger student ran up, smiling. “You found my gumboot!” she said. Hudson smiled too. It had started as an ordinary day, but helping someone made it feel special.
