Give each child a photocopy of this page. Cut out the words in the word list. Quietly read the story below and arrange the words next to the story in the order you would fill in the blanks. Notice how a right action put in the wrong blank can become a wrong action because of timing. When you are finished, I will read the story aloud. I will pause for you to say the action you chose for each blank. (See page 12 for the answers.)
