Learn to memorize words and numbers. Explain to beginning students that letters are ordered to make words, just as numbers are also ordered to demonstrate value. Show a class of students a random grouping of numbers: 75304298, for example. Teach memorization through chunking. Add a dash in between the numbers to "chunk" them into two groups and for easier comprehension: 7530-4298, for example. Order the chunks by numerical value to show students how memorization is aided when numbers are sequenced from least to greatest: 0234-5789.
Use auditory aids. Auditory measures aid sequential learning, according to Education.com, as visual and tactile measures aid spatial and kinesthetic learning, respectively. Encourage students to listen to audiobooks whenever possible and to read out loud to one another. Play telephone with young students. Create a "telephone" out of two tin cans and a piece of string. Have students read lines of poetry or a short story back and forth to sharpen sequencing skills to ensure the poem or story makes sense. Auditory aids help students connect and sequence thoughts in an active way.
Teach organization of ideas. Identify letters, words, sentences and paragraphs and how they form together to create faults. Break down paragraphs into chunks for sequential understanding: the first sentence introduces the thought, the middle two sentences provide details on the thought and the final sentence encapsulates or concludes the thought. Note how the thoughts are ordered: chronologically, as with timelines, or logically, as with an academic paper, for example.
