Differentiated reading comprehension worksheets for the fairytale ‘The Fisherman and His Wife,’ which tells the story of a fisherman who catches a magical fish that grants wishes. However, his wife’s greed leads to their downfall, teaching the moral to be content with what you have and not be greedy for more.
The carefully retold story is written at four levels appropriate for readers aged 6 to 11 years old.
The higher level text is double-sided, has a larger word count, features more complex vocabulary, and includes 17 higher level questions.
The middle level text is double-sided, has simpler vocabulary, and includes 13 questions.
There are two lower level texts, both of which have been simplified for lower-level readers and follow the structure of the higher texts. However, one is a shortened version omitting one of the wife’s three wishes. Both lower level texts use mainly decodable and high frequency words. The full version has nine questions, and the shortened version has nine easy-to-read and answer questions.
All four levels come with answer sheets.
