It is so difficult to find good reading material for children nowadays. If it is too simple, it may bore the children. If it is on a complicated topic, then the children may find it a difficult read. If you have been following my website and my Facebook page, you would know that reading comprehension is a subject close to my heart. I like flashcards too but the space is limited in a flashcard and it is a struggle to explain all the important points of a subject in just a teeny weeny flashcard \ud83d\ude00. This doesn’t mean that I don’t believe in the power of flashcards. They are an excellent way of building vocabulary as a picture is better than a thousand words! Having said that, flashcards limit the quantity of information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I started looking for another interesting topic for reading for the students and children of my dear followers. I didn’t have to look far when I saw my 7 yrs old son drawing a meteor\u00a0<\/span>\u2604\ufe0f\ufe0f<\/span><\/span>. Unfortunately, he didn’t color it. He is more into drawing with a pencil or a black felt pen. He even adds the shading with those writing instruments without even a single splash of color *sigh*. I tried to bribe him that I will make his meteor drawing a part of the Facebook post if he just colors it\u00a0<\/span>\ud83d\udd8d\ufe0f<\/span><\/span>but he liked his independence more! Children need to be given the freedom to explore their interests but that is a topic for another day \ud83d\ude09. Coming back to my reading worksheets, I decided to write about natural disasters. All the information has been collected from authentic websites like National Geographic.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0I really enjoyed making these worksheets though I must say that it wasn’t an easy task. I didn’t want to talk about the deaths due to the devastation caused by natural disasters\u00a0<\/span>\ud83c\udf0b<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>such as wildfires\u00a0<\/span>\ud83d\udd25<\/span><\/span>and earthquakes but at the same time, I wanted to genuinely interest the children in reading the printables and absorbing the knowledge. I sincerely hope that I have been successful. My son did have fun reading these worksheets. I hope your children also enjoy them. Natural disasters cause destruction but they do fascinate everyone. Look at the number of movies made on them! Anyway, download the high-quality PDF from the link given below. Please make sure that the printer is set to “scale to fit” before you print the PDF on A4 size papers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you like these worksheets, please also check out my Youtube Channel<\/a>. I publish free classes for teaching Mental Math and Programming in Scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
