My Hot Dog Is Soggy

This Spelling worksheet features a playful poem titled “My Hot Dog Is Soggy” from the book The Elephant Repairman, which humorously describes a Fourth of July picnic gone awry due to water play. Students are tasked with selecting the correct spelling of words from multiple options provided in parentheses throughout the poem. This activity enhances spelling skills, reinforces vocabulary, and promotes careful reading. The amusing theme of a waterlogged picnic makes it particularly engaging for grades 1-3, while also encouraging critical thinking about word usage and spelling conventions in a relatable, holiday-themed context.
