Ants Reading Comprehension Worksheets

Do your students glaze over during reading time?
Struggling with vocabulary retention?
Noticing shorter and shorter attention spans year after year?

If you’re nodding “yes” to any of these, this ants reading is here to save the day!

Reading comprehension doesn’t have to be boring or overwhelming—and it doesn’t belong only in the ELA classroom! Every teacher can support literacy with the right tools (and a little bit of fun!). Just model, read together, annotate, and let those meaningful discussions begin!

I created this line of reading resources to make your life easier and your students more confident readers.

Each passage is:

• ✔️ Clear and engaging
• ✔️ Written at a grade 6–8 reading level
• ✔️ Paired with thoughtful, rigorous questions that ask students to predict, reflect, connect, and think critically

Whether you’re using it for pre-reading, homework, review, or to support absent students—this resource has the flexibility you need to fit your teaching style.

Let’s get those students reading, writing, and building vocabulary—without all the prep stress!

Topics covered in this resource include:

• The ecological role of ants
• Life in a colony
• Ant division of labor
