This hard worksheet pushes problem-solving skills by asking students to spot patterns in story sequences. Part A's four multiple-choice questions challenge students to choose which event would come first or last in stories about planting a garden, baking a cake, or a caterpillar spinning a cocoon. Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blank sentences that strengthen mastery of signal words like 'next' and 'finally' and the idea that ordered stories follow a clear pattern.
