This challenging Grade 1 worksheet pushes first graders into multiple-choice thinking with four questions about which story part comes first, who the main character is, what a setting really means (where and when it happens), and what a hero tries to do with a problem. Part B then asks for five precise fill-in-the-blank answers covering the end of a narrative, the problem as something that goes wrong, the fairy tale opener Once upon a time, the author who writes the story, and the fact that characters can be people or animals. Choosing among four options sharpens reasoning and prepares writers to discuss stories, not just enjoy them.
