Decodable Story
WPS Mobile Learning Van
The Big Blue WPS Truck Rolls Out
Knowledge Trail
Brad, Fran, and Greg hop in the big truck. Fran puts her map on the dash. The truck has WPS on the front and on the side.
"Where do we go?" asked Fran with a grin.
"We go down the long dirt track," said Brad. "Where we go, we bring fresh books and craft kits!"
The big blue truck hits a bump on the track. Drip, drop! A green frog hops on a log in the wet grass.
"Do not trip or drag!" yelled Greg. Brad has a firm grip on the wheel. He will not crash.
The truck rolls past the red brick mill. They are on a grand trip to give kids tools to learn.
Stop & Think: What did Fran put on the dash? Point to the red word: her map!
Point and read each word smoothly. Page 2 • Decodable Story
Part 2 • Knowledge Arrives!
Delivering Knowledge
WPS Mission Accomplished
Dropping Off Fresh Knowledge & Skills
Readers Win!
The WPS truck stops next to the camp. "We are here!" yelled Brad. The kids run fast on the grass to greet the team!
Fran unzips the big black trunk. In her hands, she will grab the best crop of books. Brad hands out a red drum, a math drill pad, and craft kits.
The boxes brim with fun! Greg gives each child a crisp print to read. "Look here!" said the kids. They clap and tap the drum.
"Where we go, we drop off knowledge!" said Brad with a wide grin.
"Now kids can read, think, and make crafts!" cheered Fran.
The sun sets. The WPS team packs up the truck to trek back. It was the best trip yet!
