Sequence Writing Pages – Sequence It!

It’s time for a little sequence writing fun! Sequencing builds so many literacy skills, like storytelling, comprehension, and vocabulary. And when you get kids sequence writing, you build handwriting, writing, and spelling skills, too! Woohoo! {These 5 FREE pages are samples from my Sequence It! Writing Pack.}

Sequence Writing Introduction

Sequencing has so many benefits for young learners. Storytelling, comprehension, and vocabulary just to name a few. You mix in the writing component and you’ve hit the literacy jackpot! That’s why I was so excited to try these out with my Kindergartner & 1st grader.

Before they used the student writing pages, we did some sequence writing together. (The picture & word cards are from my Sequence It! Writing Pack.)

These are the steps we took:

1. We briefly talked about the importance of telling a story in order. I used a familiar story to them and told it out of order as an example of why order matters.
2. I displayed the sand castle pictures out of order in our pocket chart. They rearranged them in the right order.
3. We talked about each picture.
4. I added word cards to the pocket chart as we talked about each picture. If they used another word not in the word bank (like flag and beach), I wrote that word on one of the blank word cards and added it to the pocket chart.) Note: The blank cards are editable, so you can type in your own extra words before-hand.
5. We then explored the concept of first, next, and last and how we can add these signal words to our writing.

6. We shared the pen with sequence writing about the sand castle. We wrote 1-2 sentences about each picture, using the word bank to help us spell words for our sequence writing.
7. We repeated steps 1-6 with one more sequence activity on the 2nd day.

Sequence Writing Pages

The individual student pages are just an extension of the picture and word cards mentioned above. In the bundle pack, there are 20 different sequence writing pages.

Learners cut out the pictures and word bank from the bottom of the page

and glue them down in order: first, next, last.

Then, learners write what happened first, next, and last based on the pictures. The word bank has words that the student may need to write his/her sentences. If you have learners who tend to be more “by the book”, it’s important to explain that they might not use all the words in the word bank in their sequence writing…and that’s okay!
