Step-by-step solution for: Reading Worksheets Kindergarten
Let’s read the story carefully to answer each question.
---
Question 1: Who is Chap?
In the story, it says:
> “Chap sat on Dad’s lap.”
And later:
> “Ok!” said Chap...
Then:
> “Naps, caps, then the map. What will be next?” said Chap.
Also, in the picture, there are two people — one taller (Dad) and one smaller (a child). The smaller one is holding the map and wearing a cap. Since Chap is talking and sitting on Dad’s lap, Chap must be the child — probably Dad’s son or daughter. But since the name “Chap” is used and no gender is specified, we can just say Chap is Dad’s child.
✔ So, Chap is Dad’s child.

Question 2: What will Dad and Chap do first?
Look at what Dad says:
> “First, we will take a nap.”
So the very first thing they plan to do is take a nap.
✔ Answer: They will take a nap first.

Question 3: What will Dad and Chap do last?
Dad says:
> “First, we will take a nap. Then we will put on caps. Last, we will look at the map.”
So the last step before going is looking at the map.
But wait — after that, Chap asks, “What will be next?” and Dad says, “Then we will go!”
So actually, the *very last* thing they do is “go” — meaning leave or start their trip.
But let’s check the question:
> “What will Dad and Chap do last?”
Looking at the sequence Dad gives:
1. Take a nap → first
2. Put on caps → then
3. Look at the map → last (in his original plan)
But then Dad adds: “Then we will go!” — which comes after looking at the map.
So if we’re talking about the full plan including Dad’s final sentence, the last thing is “go”.
However, in the context of the questions, Question 3 likely refers to the “last” item in Dad’s original list (“First… Then… Last…”), which is “look at the map”.
But let’s double-check the exact wording in the story:
> Dad said, “First, we will take a nap. Then we will put on caps. Last, we will look at the map.”
That’s clear — “Last” = look at the map.
Then Chap repeats: “Naps, caps, then the map. What will be next?” — showing he understands those three steps, and asks what comes after.
Dad answers: “Then we will go!”
So “go” is after the “last” step.
Therefore, for Question 3 — “What will Dad and Chap do last?” — if we interpret “last” as the final action in their entire plan, it’s “go”. But if we interpret it as the “last” item in Dad’s numbered list (first, then, last), it’s “look at the map”.
Given this is a reading comprehension worksheet for young students, and the word “last” was explicitly used by Dad to mean “look at the map”, that’s probably what the question expects.
BUT — let’s look again at Question 3:
> “What will Dad and Chap do last?”
It doesn’t say “according to Dad’s first statement” — it just asks what they will do last.
In the full conversation, the last thing mentioned is “Then we will go!” — so that’s the final action.
This is tricky. Let’s see how the story ends:
> “Then we will go!” said Dad.
So the sequence is:
- Nap
- Caps
- Map
- Go
“Go” is the final action.
Since the question says “do last”, and “go” is the last thing they do, that should be the answer.
Wait — but in many school worksheets, when a character says “First… Then… Last…”, the “Last” refers to the third item, even if more things happen after.
To resolve this, let’s look at the illustration: the child is holding the map, and they’re standing together — suggesting they’re about to look at the map or have just finished planning.
Also, the title is “The Map”, and the focus is on the sequence leading up to using the map.
Moreover, in Question 2, it asks “What will Dad and Chap do first?” — and the answer is clearly “take a nap” from Dad’s first sentence.
Similarly, Question 3 likely expects the answer from Dad’s “Last, we will look at the map.”
Additionally, Chap summarizes: “Naps, caps, then the map.” — omitting “go”, because “go” is the result, not part of the preparation steps.
So for consistency with the worksheet level, I think Question 3 wants “look at the map” as the “last” step in the planned activities before departing.
But to be precise, let’s note:
- If “last” means the final action overall → “go”
- If “last” means the third step in the sequence Dad listed → “look at the map”
Given that Dad used the word “Last” to introduce “look at the map”, and the question uses the same word “last”, it’s safest to go with “look at the map”.
Final decision based on typical elementary reading comprehension:
Question 3 refers to Dad’s use of “Last” — so answer is “look at the map”.

✔ Final Answers:
1. Chap is Dad’s child.
2. They will take a nap first.
3. They will look at the map last.
(Note: Some might argue “go” is last, but based on the text structure and grade level, “look at the map” is intended for Q3.)

Final Answer:
① Chap is Dad’s child.
② They will take a nap first.
③ They will look at the map last.
