Big and Small Sorting

In this worksheet, students read a short story about an elephant and a mouse, focusing on the concept of size. After reading, they identify and sort items from the story-elephant, mouse, pond, and nut-into two boxes labeled “Big” and “Small.” This task helps children develop comprehension and categorization skills by connecting descriptive words to objects. Students practice comparative thinking and vocabulary recognition related to size while strengthening early reading and sorting abilities.
