Step-by-step solution for: Read and recall worksheets | Worsheets library
Let’s work through this step by step.
The task has two parts:
Part 1: Read the passage 3 times and check a box each time you read it.
→ There are 3 empty boxes under the passage. You just need to mark one box after each reading — so all three boxes should be checked by the end. But since we’re not actually reading aloud here, we’ll focus on Part 2.
Part 2: Write a number (1, 2, or 3) on each picture to show the correct order of events from the story.
Let’s look at the story again:
> Peter went to the library. First, he chose a book. Then, he checked out with his card. Finally, he sat down to read his new book. It is about tigers. Peter loves to read!
So the correct sequence is:
1. He chose a book → That means he picked a book from the shelf.
2. He checked out with his card → That happens at the front desk with a librarian.
3. He sat down to read → That happens after checking out, probably in a chair inside the library.
Now let’s match that to the pictures:
- Left picture: A boy picking a book off a shelf → This is “chose a book” → That’s step #1.
- Middle picture: The outside of the library building with someone walking toward it → Wait… but the story says he *went* to the library first — but none of the pictures show him arriving? Actually, looking closely: the middle picture shows the library building and a path leading to it — maybe this represents “Peter went to the library.” But the story starts with “Peter went to the library,” then immediately says “First, he chose a book.” So going to the library isn’t listed as a separate numbered event — the three events are: choose, check out, sit and read.
Wait — let’s re-read the instructions: “Write a number on each picture to show the correct order.”
There are only 3 pictures and 3 steps in the story after arriving:
Actually, the story says:
- Went to the library (not shown as an action in the pics?)
- Chose a book → Left pic
- Checked out → Right pic (boy at counter with librarian)
- Sat down to read → Not clearly shown? Wait — left pic might also include sitting? No — left pic shows him reaching for a book on a shelf.
Looking again:
✔ Left image: Boy selecting a book from shelves → Step 1: chose a book
✔ Right image: Boy standing at counter talking to librarian → Step 2: checked out
❓ Middle image: Library building exterior — no person doing anything specific except maybe approaching? But the story doesn’t have a step called “walked to library” — it just says “Peter went to the library” as setup.
But wait — perhaps the middle image is meant to represent “Peter went to the library” — even though it’s not one of the three main actions? But there are only 3 numbers to assign: 1, 2, 3.
Hmm — maybe I misread the story structure.
Story breakdown:
Sentence 1: Peter went to the library. ← Background
Sentence 2: First, he chose a book. ← Event 1
Sentence 3: Then, he checked out with his card. ← Event 2
Sentence 4: Finally, he sat down to read his new book. ← Event 3
So the three key events are: choose, check out, sit and read.
Now which picture matches “sat down to read”? None of them clearly show sitting and reading — unless...
Wait — look at the left picture again: Is the boy sitting? No, he’s standing near shelves.
Right picture: Standing at counter.
Middle picture: Just the building.
This is confusing. Maybe the middle picture is supposed to be “arriving” — but that’s not one of the three events.
Alternatively — perhaps the teacher expects us to interpret the images differently.
Let me think like a kindergarten student:
They see:
Pic A (left): Boy picking book → “I pick my book!” → That’s first.
Pic B (middle): Big building with door → “That’s the library!” → Maybe this is when he arrives? But the story doesn’t say “he walked in” as a separate step.
Pic C (right): Boy at desk with lady → “He gives his card!” → That’s second.
Then where’s “sat down to read”? Maybe they expect the left picture to also imply he will sit later? Or maybe the right picture includes sitting? No.
Wait — perhaps the middle picture is NOT part of the sequence? But there are three pictures and three numbers.
Another idea: Maybe “Peter went to the library” is represented by the middle picture (the building), and that’s considered step 1? But the story says “First, he chose a book” — meaning choosing is the first action *after* going.
But if we must assign 1, 2, 3 to the three pictures based on the story flow:
Most logical assignment:
- Middle picture: Peter goes to the library → Even though it’s not labeled “first”, it’s the start → Assign 1?
- Left picture: Chooses book → 2
- Right picture: Checks out → 3
But then where’s “sat down to read”? Missing.
Unless... the left picture is “chose a book AND sat down”? Unlikely.
Perhaps the worksheet has a mistake? Or maybe I’m overcomplicating.
Let’s try matching strictly to the words:
“First, he chose a book.” → Picture showing choosing book → Left pic → Label 1
“Then, he checked out with his card.” → Picture showing checkout → Right pic → Label 2
“Finally, he sat down to read his new book.” → Which picture shows reading? None clearly. Unless... the left picture is him reading? No, he’s reaching for a book.
Wait — maybe the middle picture is him walking in, and that’s implied before choosing? But again, not one of the three events.
Alternative approach: Look at common sense ordering.
In real life:
1. You go to the library (middle pic — building)
2. You pick a book (left pic)
3. You check it out (right pic)
And then you sit and read — but that’s not pictured. Since there are only three pictures, maybe the “sit and read” is omitted visually, and we’re to order the visible actions according to the story’s timeline.
But the story explicitly lists three actions: choose, check out, sit/read.
Only two are clearly depicted: choose (left), check out (right). The third — sit/read — is missing.
Unless... the left picture is meant to be both choosing and sitting? Doesn’t make sense.
Perhaps the middle picture is irrelevant? But that can’t be.
Wait — let’s read the instruction again: “Write a number on each picture to show the correct order.”
It doesn’t say the pictures correspond exactly to the three sentences — it says “show the correct order” of what happened.
So perhaps:
- Middle picture: Peter arrives at library → Happens first → 1
- Left picture: Picks book → Second → 2
- Right picture: Checks out → Third → 3
Even though the story says “first, he chose a book,” that “first” refers to the first thing he did *inside* the library. Arriving comes before entering.
So overall chronological order:
1. Goes to library (middle pic)
2. Chooses book (left pic)
3. Checks out (right pic)
And “sat down to read” is after checking out, but not shown — so we ignore it for numbering since there’s no picture for it.
That makes sense! Three pictures, three numbers, ordered chronologically including arrival.
So:
- Middle picture (library building) → 1 (went to library)
- Left picture (picking book) → 2 (chose a book)
- Right picture (checking out) → 3 (checked out)
Yes, that fits perfectly.
Final Answer:
Middle picture: 1
Left picture: 2
Right picture: 3
But how to present it? The pictures are arranged left, middle, right.
So:
Left box (under left picture): 2
Middle box (under middle picture): 1
Right box (under right picture): 3
Wait — the worksheet says: “Write a number on each picture” — so directly on the image area, probably below or on the line under each.
Since we can't draw, we describe:
Under the left picture: write 2
Under the middle picture: write 1
Under the right picture: write 3
But let's confirm once more.
Story events in order:
1. Peter went to the library → Middle picture (building) → 1
2. First, he chose a book → Left picture → 2
3. Then, he checked out → Right picture → 3
(Finally, he sat down — not pictured, so skip)
Perfect.
Final Answer:
Left picture: 2
Middle picture: 1
Right picture: 3
