Questions about Steps in Order
What does the Steps in Order worksheet cover?
It practises following a series of steps described in a text — 2 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core RI.1.3: Explain how two facts or events in the text are linked. The instruction to pupils is “Number the boxes to show the right order”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Steps in Order practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.3 — RI.1.3, in the Reading: Informational Text domain for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Steps in Order is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on RI.1.3, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Steps in Order come with an answer key?
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Steps in Order can I print?
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Is Steps in Order free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Steps in Order, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
