About this resource

Put a familiar morning routine into sequence. Students number mixed-up sentences about making cereal, then rewrite the steps in the correct order. Reading the completed routine aloud can help them check whether each action follows logically from the one before it.

Curriculum reference — Ontario: Remove unsupported Grade 1 from display title; assess the reading and rewriting task itself. Sequencing a short procedural text supports Ontario Grade1 text-pattern recognition. The sequence of supplied written steps supports England Year2 relating items of information; not a claim to independent composition. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
