The Little Red Wagon

Worksheet Description

This worksheet tells the story of  a boy named Jack from a small town who cherishes his red wagon. The narrative follows Jack as he decides to embark on an adventure with his wagon to find a special gift for his mother. Along the way, Jack’s journey takes him to a park where he meets other children and asks to join in their play, illustrating his sociable nature and his use of the wagon as a means of engagement and assistance.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching preschoolers sight words, which are basic words that children are encouraged to recognize without having to sound out the letters. The sight words listed, such as “the,” “little,” “in,” “red,” “can,” “play,” “I,” “one,” “go,” and “help,” are woven into the story to help children learn to identify and read these words instinctively. These words are fundamental to early literacy, and the story provides a context that makes it easier for children to understand and remember the words. The word list at the bottom of the page reinforces this vocabulary, offering a recapitulation that aids in memorization and practice.
