SPECIFIC SKILL: SEQUENCE

Sequence refers to the order in which events happen in a story or the steps involved in making or doing something. Word clues to look for that help identify the sequence in as story are: before, after, next, first, later, during, last, then, and finally.

READING PASSAGES

Topics for these 16 short reading passages were carefully chosen to capture the interest of a wide variety of students. Titles include:” “The Lost Paradise,” “The Great Motocross Race,” “Diving for Treasure,” “A Tornado on the Farm,” and much more

The reading passages are arranged in ascending order. The progression allows students to begin at a lower reading level (Card 1a) and move on to higher levels (Card 8b) as their skills improve.

Reading levels begin at 3.0 and progress to 4.5 according the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Scale.

QUESTIONS

The first question after each story asks students to put three events from the story in the order they happen. The following three questions are multiple-choice and require students to understand the steps or order in which events occurred. Using sequence word clues will help students find the answers.

Pre-printed answer strips can be filled out and used for students to mark down their answers.
