Over the past few months, I have created many story sequencing cards based on popular children’s books. I’ve received so much positive feedback, that I’ve decided to continue making them.
As the seasons change and holidays roll around, I’ll choose books that fit those themes. Otherwise, I’m going to raid my kids’ bookshelves and make sequencing activities for some of our favorites.
As I create new printables here on Homeschool Preschool, I’ll add them to this list. So, bookmark this page for easy reference.
Teaching story sequencing provides an opportunity for children to work on critical reading skills. By using story sequencing cards, students learn to arrange parts of a story in chronological order and grasp the story’s structure.
As they identify story components such as characters and setting, their understanding of story grammar increases and their comprehension level improves.
Furthermore, story sequencing activities help students form mental pictures of the story’s setting and characters which can greatly enhance the reading experience. This can lead to increased motivation for reading due to its effortlessly fun nature.
Additionally, special skills are practiced as students arrange elements within a framework while also using problem-solving skills which make them think outside of the box.
Thus, teaching story sequencing benefits children emotionally, academically and socially as multiple aspects of education are reinforced when engaging in storytelling activities.
