The Sun Has Set Practice Activities
Class 1 reading comprehension worksheets for the story “The Sun Has Set”, with simple questions, sequencing, vocabulary, and picture-based recall.
Practice that builds confidence
Reading the story with meaning
These Class 1 reading comprehension worksheets help children read and understand the short story “The Sun Has Set”. Learners practise noticing what happens in the story, who or what is mentioned, and how the setting changes when the sun goes down.
The printable activities include child-friendly comprehension questions, matching and sequencing tasks, vocabulary practice, and drawing or sentence responses. They are designed for early readers who are learning to connect words, pictures, and meaning.
“The Sun Has Set” gives Class 1 children a clear situation to think about: the change from day to evening. The worksheets guide children to read slowly, look back at the text, and answer questions using clues from the story. They may identify what has happened, what can be seen after sunset, and what people or animals might do when it becomes dark.
Comprehension skills practised
The activities build early comprehension in small steps. Children practise recalling details, choosing the correct answer, matching words to meanings, putting story events in order, and completing simple sentences. Some questions may ask children to notice time words such as sun, set, evening, dark, night, sky, and home, helping them connect vocabulary with everyday experience.
A simple parent routine
At home, first read the title together and ask, “What do you think happens when the sun sets?” Then read the story aloud once while your child follows with a finger. On the second reading, pause after each sentence and ask one quick question: Who is mentioned? What changed? What happened next? After the worksheet, let your child retell the story in two or three sentences.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during reading groups, morning practice, revision, or literacy centres. The story is useful for modelling how to find answers in the passage instead of guessing. Children can underline clue words, discuss the picture, and then complete the questions independently or with a partner.
Common errors to watch for
Some children may answer from their own experience of sunset rather than from the story. Others may mix up before and after, or copy a sentence without understanding it. Encourage them to point to the part of the passage that helped them answer. If handwriting slows them down, allow oral answers first, then guide them to write short, clear responses.
