About this resource
Follow George and Ginny’s sandbox play in a short reading activity. Students answer five multiple-choice questions about what the characters prefer and what they create. Encourage students to return to the story to support a choice rather than relying only on what they remember from the first reading.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Canadian sandbox is appropriate; preserve character names. The supplied literal-detail questions fit comprehension of short simple texts; no inference claim is made. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
