Passage sheet: the same story on one page, for highlighting the target words

Kim had one small, green seed. She did need to put it in the sod. She went to a spot by a big tree. "I will put my seed here," Kim said. "It will grow tall and green."

Kim did get her spade and did push it with her feet. The sod was stiff. The spade did not go deep. "I need help," she said.

Kim did see a long stick. She set the stick on the spade. She did push down on the free end of the stick. The spade went deep into the rich black muck! Kim smiled. She put the green seed in the deep hole. She thought, "Now I will keep this spot free of weeds."
