About this worksheet
A story has a beginning, a middle and an end, and the words first, then and last are the child's tools for keeping them in order. This worksheet is one page with two parts. First the child draws a picture of something that happened, such as a trip to the park or a rainy day, in a large drawing box, because a picture holds the story. Then the child writes what happened on three labeled lines, one for First, one for Then and one for Last.
Each sheet asks about a different event, and the version decides which. Talk it through before writing: What did you do first? What happened next? How did it end? A child may write only a few words on each line, and that is fine at this age. Read the story back together, pointing to each line in turn.
