Zoo Adventure

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is centered around a short narrative featuring a first grade boy named Sam who has a profound love for animals and a heartfelt wish to visit the zoo. The story captures Sam’s excitement as his parents surprise him with a visit to the zoo, his enchantment at seeing the animals up close, and his desire to stay there forever. The joyous day concludes with Sam’s gratefulness to his parents for the visit and a hopeful look forward to future adventures at the zoo, reflecting the warmth and love within his family.

The educational goal of this worksheet is to help first-grade students recognize and learn sight words, which are common words that should be known by sight to enhance reading fluency. The story incorporates sight words like “again,” “ask,” “from,” “going,” “had,” “just,” “live,” “once,” “thank,” and “them,” providing students with a context that aids in comprehension and retention. The word list at the bottom serves as a tool for review, allowing students to practice the sight words separately from the story to reinforce their learning.
