What's Inside
He was on his skateboard and he was on his bike. What do you go on?
Reach for this short Level G book when you want a simple read with repeated high frequency words. Children practice the words he and his, and they get support with writing words too. It works well for early readers who are building fluency and learning to notice familiar words fast.
The page invites children to think about things they ride or go on in their own lives. It gives them a chance to read, repeat, and talk about the sentence while practicing sight words.
