Tips for Using the 1st Grade Kindness Worksheets
- Read Aloud Together – Read each passage with students, pausing to ask questions and check for understanding.

- Discuss and Predict – Before answering questions, ask students what they think will happen if the sun disappeared or why the moon looks different at times.
- Make Drawing Activities Interactive – Have students share their drawings and explain their sentences to a partner or the class.
- Practice Sentence Building – Use the sentence pyramid activities to help students build confidence in reading and writing. Start with the first word and gradually add to the sentence.
