Work together to place the major events from the story in chronological order. Here’s an example sequence:

  • Melanie visits the bakery.
  • She cannot enter because of the step.
  • She explains why she needs a front ramp.
  • The Wheelie Friends work together.
  • They raise money.
  • A permanent ramp is built.
  • Everyone can enter through the front door.

Invite students to retell the story using the completed sequence.
