Comprehension Questions

Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss is one of the most popular children’s books and has been like that for many years. My grandparents read it to my parents, my parents read it to me and I am sure I will read it to my kids. It is such a great book for beginning readers and it teaches a wide variety of vocabulary and a major emphasis on sight words. It would be a great book to test vocabulary comprehension and reading level. I created some comprehension questions for this book that would probably be for 1st graders.

1) What is the name that the main character is talking to?

a. Sam- I- Am

2) What type of food is Sam-I-Am trying to get the character to eat?

a. Green eggs and ham

3) Name some of the words that rhyme in this story.

a. Fox and box, house and mouse, see and tree,

4) What happens at the end of the story?

a. He likes the green eggs and ham

5) Name a certain food that you didn’t think you liked until you tried it?
