About this worksheet

A story makes sense because its events happen in an order, and putting three short events in order is the first step toward retelling a story. On this worksheet each question shows three sentences that tell something that happens, but they are printed in a mixed-up order. Your child numbers them 1, 2 and 3 to show what happens first, next and last.

Every question uses a different little story, from planting a seed to getting dressed. Say the three sentences out loud and ask: what has to happen first? Words such as first, then, next and last are the clues. Support, standard and challenge sheets use different stories.
