Woodrow Wilson

Worksheet Description

Once upon a time, there was a president named Woodrow Wilson. He was the 28th president of the United States. Wilson was a thoughtful man with glasses, who always had big ideas about how to make the world a better place. Let’s find out more about his important accomplishments!

Before becoming president, Wilson was a teacher and even the head of a university. So, you can guess he loved to learn and share knowledge with others! When he became president in 1913, he brought this love of learning to lead the country.

One of the first things Wilson did was to create new rules for businesses. He believed that fair competition was essential. That means he wanted all businesses, big and small, to have an equal chance to succeed. He introduced the Federal Reserve System, which is like a big bank that helps keep our country’s money safe and steady.

But Wilson faced a big challenge during his time as president: World War I. This was a large war that involved many countries. Even though Wilson wanted the U.S. to stay out of it, eventually, America had to join. But here’s what’s special about Wilson: even in wartime, he always dreamed of peace.
