Instructional Ideas

• Have kids circle each -ed word
• Require learners to highlight or underline the answers to the comprehension questions in the text
• Read the poem out loud as a class or in small groups or centers

Classroom Considerations

• Red and sled are the only two -ed words in this poem, so you will likely want to supplement instruction of -ed words with additional exercises

Pros

• The fun winter theme will engage learners; maybe they can tell stories of their own sledding experiences
• Handwriting lines are provided to support emerging writers

Cons

• Answers are not included; however, they should be easy to determine
