Understanding Sequencing
Sequencing is the order in which things happen.
• Underline the key events or actions in the story, e.g. opened presents, had
a snowball fight.
• Look for specific dates or time words, e.g. November, Christmas Eve, a
few weeks after.
• Pay attention to time linkers, e.g. first, then, later, after that, at the end.
