About this worksheet
Leo kicks a red ball into the bushes at recess, and it vanishes. In this 4th grade reading comprehension sheet, students read the short mystery, answer three multiple choice questions about the game, the bushes, and the culprit, then do some detective work of their own. The last two questions ask for the clue that solved the case and how the friends felt at the end. It practices RL.4.1, since every answer has to come back to a detail in the story. The third page is an answer key with the three multiple choice answers and model answers for both written questions.
