WHY STORY SEQUENCING?

If you think about it, sequencing is an important skill that is used in many disciplines in life-- from getting up in the morning to school work like math, reading, and writing, .... and even in the kitchen.

There's an order to how we do things, and if events happen in a different order.... you may have a different outcome.  In this case, you may have a very different story! 

These story sequencing activities will help you teach your young children the importance of what comes first, second, last and how to re-tell events, which is a great way to encourage narration and develop vocabulary in your preschool or Kinder kiddo(s).

There are SO many fun ways to make a story come alive through re-telling via:  

• story stones

• create hands-on props

• re-telling stick

• puppets

• hands-on printables
