Periods Stop Us

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a reading exercise that employs simple sentences to teach young learners the concept of reading from left to right. Each sentence starts with the word “The,” followed by an image of a dog, then the verb “has,” another image representing an object, and ends with a period. The objects vary and include a bone, a sneaker, a ball, a donut, and a house. Students are instructed to trace the line under each sentence as they read, which will help guide their eyes in the correct reading direction.

The worksheet’s primary aim is to reinforce the left-to-right reading pattern, which is essential for developing English reading skills. It teaches students to associate words with corresponding images, thereby expanding their vocabulary. Tracing the line under each sentence helps in developing fine motor skills and aids in understanding the flow of reading text. Furthermore, the task encourages the recognition of simple sentence structures and the concept of subjects and verbs, which are foundational grammar skills.
