It's nice to get the maximum benefit from all of your first grade reading worksheets, right? That's why I think you'll like the page I've created here. Your first grader will want to read his very own story again and again!
Be sure to explain the directions the first
time
your students complete this page called "My New Job."
1. Give the student the word list on the top half of the worksheet. Ask him to spell any word that fits the category.
2. Give the student the bottom half, or the story. Ask him to copy each word from his word list into the matching blank in the story.
3. Then ask the student to read his story to himself.
4. FInally, ask the student to read his story to you! If you're working with a large group of students, you may have to spread out the sharing time over the course of the day or week.
