Kindergarten reading comprehension passages focusing on answering questions

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm really trying to help my kindergarteners with their reading comprehension. It's tough to get them to understand a short story and then answer questions about it. Any tips or practice ideas for passages that focus on answering who, what, where questions? A quick guide and some practice questions would be amazing! ๐ŸŽ
