What does this worksheet teach?

Dot the front cover, first page, last page or back cover to show where a story starts and ends. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Each row shows one book four ways: front cover, first page, last page, back cover. Read the question. Your child dots the right picture. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.
Can I use this parts of a book worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool reading comprehension, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with parts of a book. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
