Reading Comprehension Fill-in Activities

A parent is working with her children who have some problems with reading comprehension. The problem is the children don’t fully understand the books they read and how to answer comprehension questions. The children can retell the story and describe what happens in general terms. They can describe the characters and what they do. They can even describe the setting, although not in great detail. What they need is practice with was answering specific comprehension questions about plot, setting, and characters. To help solve this problem, the parent uses FlinkMake to create an interactive comprehension activity on the computer in minutes.


The interactive worksheet is fun and engaging, with an appealing character. It combines pictures and text with blanks in the text and words to fill in the blanks. Children drag the words from the bottom of the screen into the blanks in the text. When they have filled all the blanks, they get feedback as to how they did. There is even a way to ask the computer to give the correct answer (after an umber of incorrect answer choices). The parent can make tens of problems in minutes, providing children with all the comprehension practice they need.
