Lazy Sloth

Lazy Sloth is a humorous, realistic fiction about a group of jungle animals who think that Sloth is very sick. After failed attempts at waking him up, animals make him a bed and plan to move him to it. They realize that Sloth is not sick, but is naturally lazy and sleepy all the time. Dialogue is bolded and in colour.

To begin, a brief explanation about what a sloth is like is presented. Illustrations support interpretation and enhance enjoyment. Callouts prompt prediction and allow students to make inferences.

Some sentences begin with dependent clauses. Simple connectives such as and connect two ideas. To conclude, two story sequences are presented. One sequence properly aligns with the events of the story while the other does not. In addition, a word bank with text and imagery is provided.
