Labor Day Reading Comprehension Activities | Labor Day Worksheet

This Labor Day Reading Comprehension Activities worksheet is a perfect way to engage students in learning about important jobs and community helpers while practicing reading skills. Children in Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, and 5th Grade will enjoy reading about various workers such as firefighters, farmers, chefs, and mechanics. Designed for Elementary School students, this activity helps children understand the role of different jobs in our society. After reading a short passage, kids answer questions that test their comprehension. Younger learners can get support in identifying key parts of the text, while older students practice writing full sentence answers. Each reading includes a related coloring page — like a mail carrier’s bag or a chef’s hat — to spark creativity. Children are encouraged to use their imagination, coloring with any colors they choose, and even role-playing or storytelling about the character they read. This makes learning active, creative, and fun across different grades and for students in all countries. It’s a wonderful way to combine literacy and career awareness in one printable worksheet!
