Sequencing

Sequencing is the process of putting events, ideas, and objects
in a logical order. Why is sequencing important?
Sequencing is necessary for:

• understanding and telling stories;

• performing daily activities;

• solving problems;

• reading comprehension;

• succeeding in school and at work. 

We sequence all day long—we divide our time into what we need to do first, second, and last; we understand events in our lives by understanding the order in which they occur. For some children, sequencing can be a hard concept to grasp, especially when they are trying to tell a story. Using good key words like “first,” “next,” “then,” and “finally,” cue your child as to what is coming next.
