Charlotte’s Web Chapter 1 is a free printable English worksheet for Grade 3 students. It includes 10 multiple-choice reading comprehension questions about key details from the chapter, including Papa’s trip to the hog house, the runt pig, Fern’s response to the planned action, and the pig’s name, Wilbur. Students also answer a vocabulary-in-context question about the word “injustice” and identify characters’ feelings, such as Fern’s upset reaction and Avery’s jealousy. This worksheet helps students show understanding of explicit information, character actions and emotions, important story events, and word meaning within a literary passage. Use it after students read or listen to Chapter 1 to check recall and discuss why Fern believes her father’s decision is not fair. The worksheet is available as a free printable PDF and includes a complete answer key for efficient review and grading.

This Grade 3 worksheet uses 10 multiple-choice questions to assess comprehension of specific details, character feelings, and vocabulary from Chapter 1 of Charlotte’s Web. Students identify what Papa was carrying and where he was going, explain Fern’s reaction to the runt pig, recognize Avery’s jealousy, and determine that “injustice” means “not fair.”
Have students read or listen to Chapter 1 first, then ask them to explain the events involving the runt pig before completing the 10 multiple-choice questions independently. Use questions about Fern’s upset feelings, her claim of injustice, and Avery’s jealousy as discussion prompts so students support answers with details from the chapter. Review the vocabulary item in context rather than treating “injustice” as an isolated definition.
Students may confuse details that appear in the same scene, such as Papa carrying an ax with where he is going, the hog house. They may also choose a general feeling without matching it to the character and event, such as overlooking that Fern is upset while Avery is jealous. Watch for students who select a familiar-sounding option instead of using the chapter’s context to identify “injustice” as “not fair” or to recall that Fern names the pig Wilbur.
