This is a both the 2 page printer friendly black and white worksheet and full color worksheet to print and hand to your students. While you read Would You Rather be a Bullfrog? by Theo LeSieg.

Tell you students something along the lines of:

"I'm going to read you a fun story. You need to think about each question comparing 2-3 nouns. A Noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. You wont tell me out loud which one you would rather be you are going color or circle your choice. This is a great way to practice writing while listening."

The idea behind this worksheet is to allow students to:

• interact with the story that is quiet
• encourages decision making.
• allows students to start practicing skills for note taking.

This is a great sheet for following directions and coming up with a strategy to follow those directions. It checks reading comprehension and knowing left and right as well. I use it with 6th graders to show how important carefully following directions can be. It could easily be used with younger grades or possibly older grades as well.
