Product description

From the author

Organize a sequence in four boxes labeled First, Then, Next and Last. A title line identifies the topic. Students can use words or pictures to show a story sequence or the steps in a familiar process.

Use the one-page PDF with a story or topic you select. Read the printed headings together, then have students explain the sequence from the first box to the last. A reading passage is not included.
