Object Check

This early literacy worksheet is designed for Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten students to strengthen attention to detail and story comprehension using Goodnight Moon. Students review a list of objects and decide whether each one appears in the story by marking “Yes” or “No.” Familiar items like the telephone, red balloon, bowl of mush, and mittens are mixed with playful “trick” objects such as a spaceship or television, encouraging careful thinking and recall. A bonus creative task invites students to imagine what might happen if the bunny said goodnight to an object that does not appear in the book.
