# Put a story in order. Choose a helpful word. · learner cards

**One card at a time.** Try the short print before any picture. You can point, move letters, speak, sign, use AAC, draw or direct an adult to write your idea. You may always use a made-up character. You do not have to tell the class about your family, a celebration, a feeling or a problem.

## 111 · Read the words

**day**　**play**　**tray**　**mat**

Which three words end with the same sound-writing team? Blend one without a picture.

## 112 · What happened first?

**It is day.**

Read first. Listen to the teacher's made-up Book Day story. Point to **before**, **during** or **after** for a part you heard.

## 113 · A story has a source

**I can play.**

Read first. Listen to one invented event. Tell what happened in that story, not what every family does.

## 114 · Say it in order

**A red cup is on a mat.**

Read a taught word. Then put three adult-read event cards in order and tell one listener what came first and next.

## 115 · First response

**day**　**map**　**ten**　**see**

Read two words in a new order. Your teacher will bring a new little event story. Listen, place its parts and give one source clue.

## 116 · A character may feel differently

**I am sad.**

Read the print as a **sentence a made-up character might say**. Listen to Ari's story. What did Ari actually say? Could another person feel differently?

## 117 · A way to ask

**I can sit.**

Read first. In a made-up noisy game, choose a respectful request for a quiet place or another safe way to join. You can point to a card instead of saying it aloud.

## 118 · Listen before answering

**I can see a map.**

Read first. Listen to a partner or adult. Tell what the character **said** they felt, or call your idea a guess and give a story clue.

## 119 · Choose a more exact word

**am**　**sad**　**sit**　**nap**

Blend two. With adult-read choices, say whether a story character may feel **worried**, **disappointed** or **pleased**, and what in the story supports your idea. There can be more than one reasonable feeling; do not guess a real classmate's feelings from their face.

**Day 120 has a new teacher card.** Your first answer helps plan the next lesson. You may answer privately or pass on a personal example.
