About this worksheet
A summer story told in four pictures: a scoop of strawberry ice cream going on a cone, a cold cone with a cherry, the hot sun making it drip and a big pink puddle with the cone tipped over. Kids read four mixed-up sentence strips, cut them out and glue them under the right picture. The answer key is on page 2. First graders can do it on their own once they know the strategy at the top of the page.
Tips for using it
- Before numbering, ask your child to tell the story out loud using first, next, then and last.
- Lay the cut-out pictures in a row before gluing, so mistakes can still be fixed.
- If a step is tricky, ask what has to happen before it: can you eat the cookies before you bake them?
- For 6-step pages, find the first and the last picture before anything else; the middle is easier then.
