Sequencing Traditional Tales

Year 1 EnglishReading Comprehension3 pages

About this worksheet

A windy sorting task for Year 1 traditional tales, set over three pages. Twelve story items have blown out of their books, from a brick house and a red cloak to three bowls of porridge. Pupils sort each item into The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood or Goldilocks. Two questions follow: which item was hardest to place, and one new idea for each tale. The key shows that the big bad wolf and the dark forest fit more than one story. It covers England National Curriculum comprehension.
