Medicine and ice cream
Compare the medicine and the ice cream aloud. Both can feel important to a child, so this pair shows who has the idea and who is guessing.
Dictate the sentences
Write the Page 2 answers for students who cannot yet spell because. Their drawing and your words can then sit side by side on the page.
Waiting for a want
Use item 4 on Page 2 to talk about saving up or asking for a birthday. Students can say what they would wait for and for how long.
