Sequencing • To introduce sequence, have students tell about a simple sequential favorite activity they engage in, such as playing a game or working on a puzzle. • Discuss the order of the activity and place on a chalkboard using cue words, such as first, second, then, before, last, and after. • Encourage students to use their sense of situation to put the events in order.
Sequencing • For historical information or biographies, show students how to use dates to keep them in order. • Show books with timelines or chronologies to students in order to help them keep track of key events. • Show students how a graphic organizer can display a chain of events.
Sequencing • During guided practice, read a book as a class, write down main events in the order they occur on the chalkboard to model the strategy. • During independent practice, provide students with pieces of paper and pencils to use as they read to write page numbers and a few words to remind them of important events in the story.
Sequencing • To assess the students, observe to see if they are writing down main points in order as they read through the text. • During reteaching, discuss the order of the activity and place on a chalkboard using cue words, such as first, second, then, before, last, and after.
Sequencing • Practice sequencing in different ways and with a variety of texts. Make games of sequencing practice by photocopying a short story, mixing the pages up, and asking students to reassemble them in the correct order. • After about a month of practice with sequencing, take it to the next by adding it to another reading comprehension strategy like rewriting.
