Use our sequencing boosters to become a Sequencing Superhero! Try out our clever strategies as you read your next book.
Matching Numbers
Write out the numbers 1 – 5 in order. Now, write the main events from the chapter you have just read next to each number. Make sure they are in the correct order!
Comic Strip Sequencing
Draw 4–6 boxes on a page. In each box, draw a key event and write a short sentence about it. Put the boxes in the order that the events happened.
Event Cards
Write the key events from the story on post-it notes. Shuffle them and then put them back in the correct order.
You can also include a “prediction card” for what might happen next.
Beginning, Middle, End
Split a blank page into three sections: Beginning, Middle, End. Write or draw the most important events in each section. Try doing this after each chapter or after finishing the whole book.
Key Event Tracker
While reading, make a running list of important events as they happen. After finishing the book, check your list and number the events in the correct sequence.
Create a timeline
Draw a simple timeline to show all the main events from the story. There should be no more than 10. Next, add short sentences or illustrations for each event.
