What does this worksheet teach?

⌄

Draw a line from each picture to what comes next, like watered seeds to green sprouts. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Talk about each picture on the left. Your child draws a line from it to the picture that shows what comes next. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.

Can I use this what happens next 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 what happens next. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
