Using the vocabulary in a story. Frog and Toad went outside. They tramped through the snow. Frog wanted to ride his sled but Toad was afraid. “I will be with you”, said Frog. “It will be a fine, fast ride.” The sled began to move down the hill. “Here we go!” Said Frog. There was a bump. Frog fell off the sled. Toad rushed past trees and rocks. “Frog, I am glad that you are here,” said Toad. Toad leaped over a snow bank. “I could not steer the sled without you, Frog,” he said. “You are right! Winter is fun!” A crow flying by told Toad that he was alone on the sled. The sled hit a tree. It hit a rock. The sled dived into the snow. Frog came running down the hill and told him he did a good job by himself. Toad said, “Winter may be beautiful but bed is much better!” Then he went home.
