Some students can read a story and answer questions…
But they don’t always connect what they read to real life.
They understand the events but miss the meaning behind them.
That’s why stories like Florence Nightingale’s matter. She chose to help others—even when it was difficult.
This worksheet helps students understand her story while building reading and thinking skills.
