Printable reading worksheet where students read a story about a lemonade stand and answer questions about the plot and sequence of events.

Let’s go step by step to solve each question based on the story.

Question 1: How much money do Jimmy and Sam make?

Look at the last sentence of the story:
> “At the end of the day, Jimmy and Sam had made thirty dollars!”

So, they made thirty dollars.

Question 2: How do Jimmy and Sam make the lemonade?

Read this part of the story:
> “They made lemonade by mixing water, lemons, and sugar.”

Question 3: Sequence the events. Write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

We need to put these events in the order they happened in the story.

Let’s read the story again carefully:

> It was a hot, hot day. Jimmy and Sam wanted to set up a stand to sell lemonade.
> → First, they made lemonade by mixing water, lemons, and sugar.
> → Next, they set up a table and put out cups.
> → After that, they made a big sign.
> → Then, they sold it… Lots of people came to buy their drinks.
> → At the end of the day, they had made thirty dollars.

Now match that to the list:

- They made the lemonade. → 1
- They set up a table and put out cups. → 2
- They made a sign. → 3
- Lots of people bought the lemonade. → 4
- They made thirty dollars. → 5

Wait — let’s double-check the original text order:

Original sequence from story:
1. Made lemonade (mixing ingredients)
2. Set up table and put out cups
3. Made a big sign
4. Sold it → lots of people bought
5. End of day → made thirty dollars

Yes, that matches.

So the correct numbering is:

- They made the lemonade. → 1
- They set up a table and put out cups. → 2
- They made thirty dollars. → 5
- They made a sign. → 3
- Lots of people bought the lemonade. → 4

✔ Final sequence:

They made the lemonade. → 1
They set up a table and put out cups. → 2
They made thirty dollars. → 5
They made a sign. → 3
Lots of people bought the lemonade. → 4

Final Answer:

1. Thirty dollars
2. By mixing water, lemons, and sugar.
3.
- They made the lemonade. → 1
