Photocopy images from a selected text, or draw your own images from the text. Photocopy or draw images that illustrate events that occurred in the beginning, middle and end of the text.
Place the images in a pile -- the pictures should be arranged in non-sequential order.
Encourage children to sort through the pictures and prompt them to arrange the images in the order in which they occurred in the story. The picture that illustrates what happened first should be placed first in a straight line; the picture that illustrates what happened second should be placed second and so forth.
Invite children to tell the events that the images represent, retelling the events that occurred in the story in sequential order.
Provide children with paper and crayons.
Encourage children to use the crayons and paper to draw pictures that illustrate events that happened in the beginning, middle and end of a text.
Prompt children to offer a description of the events that their illustrations represent. By drawing the pictures and offering descriptions of what the images represent, children are practicing sequencing events.
