Short Japanese passages with comprehension questions, answer lines and a full answer key with translations — exam-style reading practice you can print.
Reading comprehension is where beginners put grammar and vocabulary together, and it is a core section of the JLPT N5 and JFT-Basic exams. The only way to get better at it is to read real passages and answer questions about them.
This worksheet gives you short, level-appropriate Japanese passages written with N5 grammar and vocabulary — a daily routine, a visit to a restaurant — each followed by comprehension questions with answer lines. The situations are everyday and practical, exactly the kind you meet in real exams.
A full answer key with English translations lets you check both your answers and your understanding of every sentence. Read actively: work out the meaning yourself first, answer the questions, then use the translation to confirm and fill any gaps.
