When they know the story, they can read the abridged version on the next page.

Encourage the learners to read the story sums carefully and to say orally what the “story” is about. They must know what they are trying to find out. They can suggest different ways of finding the answers, e.g. by drawing the picture or by using counters, etc.

Question them to see whether they have the insight into the story before trying to solve the problem, e.g. How many pancakes did Mom bake?

How many people are to share the pancakes? etc.

More examples can be given.
