About This Worksheet
Morning Plans helps students infer events that happen before and after a scene. Students read clues about a family preparing early in the morning and determine what has already happened and what will happen next. This builds sequencing and inference skills.
At the Grade 3 level, students must connect clues across time. This worksheet teaches them to use details to understand both past and future events. Students also identify themes related to preparation and responsibility. This strengthens comprehension.
The questions guide students to explain their thinking. This builds reasoning skills.
