Brush Teeth Sequence

Introductory pages explain how-to writing as clear, ordered explanation and provide transition words for beginnings, middle steps, and endings. Separate editing checklists address early and more experienced writers. The activity then offers modelled procedure text, short step cards, sequencing options, and writing pages that let learners reconstruct and explain the process at different levels of independence.
