1. Read the story "Little Red Hen" aloud to the children.
2. Show the children the comprehension worksheet with the eight animal pictures.
3. Ask the children to identify which animals are characters in the story (the hen, the dog, the cat, and the mouse).
4. Instruct the children to cut out the four correct animal pictures from the grid.
5. Have the children paste the cut-out pictures into the box labeled "Characters in the book."
6. Explain that the other animals (elephant, cow, turtle, zebra) are not in the story and should be placed in the "Characters not in the book" box or left out.
7. Discuss why each chosen animal is a character in the story and what role they played (e.g., the hen worked hard, the others refused to help).
8. Review the completed worksheet as a group to reinforce story comprehension and character identification.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of the little red hen worksheet.
