Compare and contrast worksheets are an essential tool for teachers to help students develop critical thinking and analytical skills. These worksheets enable students to identify similarities and differences between two or more subjects, ideas, or concepts.

These compare and contrast worksheets help students practice identifying how characters, story details or ideas are alike or different. Comparing and contrasting is a fundamental skill both for writing and reading comprehension.

In these worksheets, students read a short text followed by questions asking them to identify what characters have in common and ways in which they are different.

In each grade 5 compare-contrast worksheet, students are given 2 short texts followed by questions regarding how details from the texts are similar or different. These worksheets provide basic comprehension practice.
