- Being able to identify the order of events in a story is called sequencing.
It's a vital part of early reading comprehension.
To practice sequencing, ask your child for four things they did today.
It can be anything they remember happening throughout their day.
Ask them to draw a picture of each event they named.
Once the pictures are done, give them a set of flashcards labeled... - [Student] First, next, then, last.
(bright music) - [Instructor] See if they can order the events correctly on their own.
- [Student] I went to school.
We started school.
I went home.
