Read the story. Then answer the questions. On the real test a grade 1 student reads this kind of story on their own, so let your child read it first and help only with a word they are stuck on. The pictures are described after the story.
The Paper Boat
Theo made a boat out of paper. He took it to the creek behind his school. He set the boat on the water. It spun around once and floated away fast. Theo ran along the path after it. The boat stopped next to a big rock. Theo found a long stick and pulled the boat back. He carried it home to dry.
