Reading Comprehension Questions
by Abby Klein
7 curated questions
Freddy Thresher, a first-grader, desperately wants to bring something exciting for show-and-tell, especially after his friend Robbie impresses everyone with a real alligator head. Freddy finds a baby bird that has fallen from its nest and decides to secretly care for it and bring it to school. He faces challenges hiding the bird from his 'neat freak' mom and sister. During show-and-tell, the bird makes a noise, leading their teacher, Mrs. Wushy, to mistakenly blame the class bully, Max Sellars. Freddy, feeling guilty, bravely confesses that the bird is his. Mrs. Wushy praises Freddy for his honesty and for standing up for Max, making Freddy the 'King of Show-and-Tell' for the day and teaching him valuable lessons about truthfulness and friendship.
