INTRODUCTION As students make their way into the “real world,” learning the important skill of filling out all different kinds of forms will make life much easier. The practice with forms in this book strengthens a student’s abilities in reading, comprehension, spelling, writing, and following directions. The light-hearted story of Ferdie Fillemout is told through the forms that have to be filled out during the course of his growing up. Silly names and engaging pictures make the task of filling out the forms much more appealing and fun. We start with Ferdie’s birth certificate, and move to the application for a social security number, student information form, getting a driver’s license, filling out a job application, and more. Follow up questions and Form Review pages test the student’s understanding of how to fill out various forms.
