Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will identify a story detail describing the weather.
Students will name the main character and recall a simple cause-and-effect detail (why he ran).
Students will infer a character's feeling from an action described in the story (laughing).
Teaching tips
Read the story aloud once before students answer independently, since the large-print single-page story is designed for early readers.
Use the completed answer page as a self-check tool for independent or small-group reading centers.
The "How did Jay feel?" question requires an inference from an action (laughing) rather than a stated feeling word, so model that reasoning step for early readers before assigning it.
Skills covered
Early reading comprehension — students answer five questions about weather, character, cause, setting, and feeling in a short story.
Inference from character action — students infer that Jay felt happy because the text says he laughed, rather than reading the word "happy" directly.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Does every answer appear as an explicit statement?
The feeling question asks students to infer that Jay is happy from his laughter. The answer page explains that connection.
