Emma’s Cookies

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a reading fluency activity that incrementally builds up to the complete sentence “Emma ate a big bag of cookies.” Students are instructed to read each line, with each subsequent line adding one more word to gradually reveal the full sentence. Accompanying the text is an illustration of a girl with a big bag of cookies, providing a visual reference for the sentence. After reading, students are asked to answer a multiple-choice question to assess their understanding of what Emma did.

The worksheet aims to teach students the progressive construction of a sentence, enhancing their ability to recognize and combine words into a coherent statement. It encourages the development of reading comprehension by requiring them to not only read the sentence but also to understand and recall the action that took place. The visual element aids in reinforcing the meaning of the words, and the multiple-choice question at the end serves to evaluate the student’s retention and comprehension of the material read. This exercise is beneficial for early readers who are beginning to understand sentence structure and the concept of reading for information.
