The Great Ice Cream Race

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a narrative featuring two friends, Lucy and Ben, who share a love for ice cream. They embark on a playful race to an ice cream truck, overcoming various obstacles along the way.

The worksheet teaches students sight words, which are commonly used words that children are encouraged to recognize quickly and without phonetic decoding. The story incorporates sight words such as “always,” “around,” “before,” “buy,” and “pull,” highlighting them within an engaging context to help build reading fluency. The word list at the bottom of the page allows students to review and practice these words in isolation, reinforcing the vocabulary learned through the story.
