Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the direct object of verbs. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of two sentences and three comprehension questions.
You might want to take a look at the second sentence of this two-sentence reading: it is long and contains a plethora of colons, semicolons and quotation marks–exactly the kind of thing that, in my experience, trips up emergent or struggling readers, or students who are learning to use English as a second language. A light editing–breaking this sentence up into two independent clauses with some supporting explanation should do the job.
