Stories set in familiar Filipino places make reading feel relevant and easier to picture. Short Stories Level 1 is a 26-page printable pack for kids in Grades 1 to 3.

What is inside

The pack has 6 stories, 6 questions, 6 words & drawing, 2 graphic organizers and 1 reading logs. Page titles include “Story: The Lost Slipper”, “Words and pictures”, “Story: The Little Frog”, “Story: The Red Jeepney” and “Beginning, middle, end”. An answer key at the back makes checking quick. Instructions are written in English with a Filipino line underneath, so kids and parents can use whichever language is easier.

Covers and headers are in full color, but every activity area is black line art on white, so the pages print cleanly in grayscale and do not waste ink.

Skills it builds

Working through the pages practices reading and comprehension. Each page takes about 15 to 20 minutes, which suits the attention span of kids in Grades 1 to 3.

How to use it

  • Ask your child to point to the sentence that proves each answer.
  • Read the passage aloud once, then let your child reread it silently.
  • Let your child retell the story in their own words at dinner.
  • Let your child read the instructions first, then check the first answer together.

Ideas beyond the page

Visit the library and find a book on the same topic. Act out a passage with toys or family members.

Who it is for

Early graders can follow written instructions and enjoy finishing a page on their own, with an adult nearby to check. At 26 pages, this is an activity pack with enough variety for a few weeks of regular practice. Parents can use it for homeschool or after-school practice, and teachers can print it for one classroom.

Printing tips

The file is an A4 PDF. Choose “Fit to page” and print one-sided; black-and-white is fine for the activity pages. At a computer shop, bring the PDF on your phone or a USB drive. You can print the whole pack or only the pages you need, as many times as you like for your own children or your own classroom.
