A Walk in the Wild — Reading Passage & Comprehension
About This Resource
A decodable-style reading passage written specifically for emergent Grade 1 ESL readers. The predictable "I see a ___. The ___ [has/is/can] ___." sentence pattern repeats across six wild animals, building reading confidence through repetition, while picture support beside every line helps students connect text to meaning. A second page checks comprehension with Yes/No questions, a picture multiple-choice question, and a simple counting question tied to the story.
