Below is a worksheet designed for Class 3 students based on the lesson plan for the "Paper Boat" chapter from the Santoor English book. The worksheet incorporates the learning outcomes (making paper boats, reading and understanding the story, learning new words, using pronouns "he"/"she," and prepositions "in, on, under") while emphasizing phonological awareness (blending phonemes/syllables into words and segmenting words into phonemes/syllables). It includes 10 main questions, each with 5 sub-questions, to engage students in a comprehensive and interactive way.
