What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

📖 Reading Passage – The Sun and the Moon 
The sun shines bright in the blue sky during the day. It gives us light and heat, and we can see everything because of it. Birds sing and children play under its warm light. When the sun goes down, it becomes evening. Then the moon and stars come out in the night sky. The moon looks bright but cool. Sometimes it is round, and sometimes it looks like a banana. Stars twinkle beside it. Both the sun and the moon help us know day and night. The sky looks beautiful in the morning and at night.
