Year 1 English reading comprehension worksheet: "Getting Ready for School" with a cheerful cartoon boy and autumn-themed illustrations.

Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

Part 1: Put the sentences in order (number them 1–5)

We need to read the story and match each sentence to when it happens in the boy’s morning routine.

The story says:

> When I wake up in the morning I go downstairs and eat breakfast.
→ So first: I wake up → that’s #1
→ Then: I eat breakfast → that’s #2

> Next I put on my school clothes.
→ That’s #3

> Then I brush my teeth and wash my face.
→ “Brush my teeth” is part of this — so I brush my teeth → that’s #4

> After that I put my lunch box in my school bag and wait for Mum to take me to school.
→ So last: I wait for Mum to take me to school → that’s #5

So the correct order is:

- ___5___ I wait for Mum to take me to school
- ___1___ I wake up
- ___3___ I put on my school clothes
- ___2___ I eat breakfast
- ___4___ I brush my teeth

Wait — let’s double-check the sequence from the story:

1. Wake up
2. Eat breakfast
3. Put on school clothes
4. Brush teeth and wash face
5. Put lunch box in bag, then wait for Mum

Yes — so “brush my teeth” comes after putting on clothes? Actually, no — let’s reread carefully:

Story:
“When I wake up... eat breakfast. ... Next I put on my school clothes. Then I brush my teeth and wash my face. After that I put my lunch box... and wait for Mum...”

So order is:

1. Wake up
2. Eat breakfast
3. Put on school clothes
4. Brush teeth
5. Wait for Mum

Perfect.

So numbering:

- I wait for Mum → 5
- I wake up → 1
- I put on school clothes → 3
- I eat breakfast → 2
- I brush my teeth → 4

✔ Correct.

Part 2: Questions

1. What does the boy eat for breakfast?
→ Story says: “I like to eat porridge for breakfast.”
→ Answer: porridge

2. What do you eat for breakfast?
→ This is a personal question. Since we’re helping a student, we can give a common example or leave it open. But since the worksheet expects an answer, and it’s asking *you* (the student), we should write something simple like:
→ Example: toast or cereal — but actually, since it’s personalized, any reasonable answer is fine. However, for consistency, maybe use what the boy ate? No — it says “you”. Let’s pick a safe, common one: cereal

But wait — the instruction says “solve the problem accurately”. For Q2, since it’s about the student, there’s no single right answer. But in worksheets like this, sometimes they expect the student to write their own. Since we’re acting as assistant, we’ll provide a typical example.

Actually, looking at the context — this is Year 1 English. The teacher likely wants the child to think about themselves. But since we must give an answer, we’ll use a generic one: eggs or toast. Let’s go with toast — very common.

Alternatively, maybe just say “I eat cereal” — but again, we are to provide final answer. Let’s choose cereal as a standard example.

Wait — better idea: since the question is “What do you eat for breakfast?” and we’re not the student, perhaps we should note that it varies — but the format requires a direct answer. In many such worksheets, if it’s personal, the student writes their own. Since we’re simulating solving it, we’ll assume a common answer.

Let’s use: cereal

3. Who takes you to school?
→ Story says: “wait for Mum to take me to school”
→ So for the boy, it’s Mum.
→ Question asks “Who takes YOU to school?” — again, personal. But in context, probably expecting “Mum” or parent/guardian. Since the story uses “Mum”, and it’s a Year 1 sheet, likely answer is Mum

But strictly speaking, it depends on the student. However, for accuracy based on the text, and since it’s a comprehension task, perhaps they want the answer from the story? No — question 3 says “you”, not “the boy”.

Hmm. Let’s check the questions again:

1. What does the boy eat... → from story
2. What do you eat... → personal
3. Who takes you to school? → personal

But in educational contexts, especially Year 1, sometimes they accept “Mum” even for “you” because it mirrors the story. Or perhaps the student is expected to write their own caregiver.

Since we must provide a final answer, and to be consistent with the story’s language, we’ll use Mum for Q3.

Alternatively, to be precise:

Q1: porridge (from story)
Q2: [student’s choice] — we’ll use “cereal” as placeholder
Q3: [student’s choice] — we’ll use “Mum” as placeholder

But let’s see — maybe the worksheet intends for Q2 and Q3 to be answered personally, but since we’re providing answers, we’ll give reasonable defaults.

Final decision:

Q1: porridge
Q2: cereal (example)
Q3: Mum (example)

But wait — perhaps for Q2 and Q3, since they’re personal, we should indicate that? No — the instruction says “provide only the final correct answer”. And in real grading, teachers would accept various answers for Q2 and Q3.

However, to stay true to the task, let’s look back: the user said “Solve the problem accurately.” For Q1, it’s factual from text. For Q2 and Q3, they’re subjective. But in many answer keys for such sheets, they might list possible answers.

Given that, I think safest is:

Q1: porridge
Q2: [any food] — but we’ll write “toast” as common
Q3: [any person] — we’ll write “my mum” to match story tone

Actually, let’s use exactly what the story implies for consistency, even though it says “you”. Perhaps it’s a trick? No — it’s clearly personal.

Another approach: since the worksheet is titled “Getting Ready for School” and the story is first-person, maybe Q2 and Q3 are meant to be answered by the student reflecting on their own life. But as AI, we have to pick.

I recall that in some versions of this worksheet online, the expected answers for Q2 and Q3 are left blank for student input, but since we must fill, we’ll use:

Q2: eggs
Q3: my dad

No — better to stick close to story.

Let me decide:

For Q1: definitely “porridge”

For Q2: since it’s “you”, and to model for student, I’ll use “cereal” — very common for kids.

For Q3: “Mum” — because the story uses it, and many kids are taken by mum.

Okay.

Now, compiling all:
