George’s Sled

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a reading fluency exercise designed to help young readers practice constructing and writing a complete sentence. The sentence “George pulled his sled through the snow.” is broken down into parts that are presented line by line. With each line, a new word is added until the sentence is complete. A corresponding illustration shows a character, presumably George, pulling a sled, which provides a visual aid for the sentence.

The worksheet teaches students how to build a sentence gradually, enhancing their understanding of sentence structure and syntax. By adding one word at a time, it helps beginning readers focus on each word and its role in the context of the sentence. The activity also aims to develop writing skills as students are instructed to rewrite the complete sentence. Finally, the question at the end asks students to identify the subject of the sentence, reinforcing reading comprehension and the ability to extract information from a text.
