Story Sequencing with Froggy Rides a Bike

I previously was a school librarian and often used the Froggy books to teach story sequence. My daughter loves the Froggy stories, and when I created this lesson she also had recently got a new bicycle, so this story was of high interest to her.
The main purpose of the lesson is to teach story sequencing and the parts of a story.  This lesson also includes an element of integrating bike safety to help your child connect to the story and aid in comprehension.

Overview: In this lesson we will learn about story sequencing while also learning about bike safety.  

Tip: It is best to complete all of the activities for the story sequencing part of lesson to make sure your child can master the skill.  The bike safety portion of the lesson provides multiple activities that you can pick and choose which a work for your family.  You may also want to involve everyone in the family for the bike activities!
