Sequence of Events

The Order of Things

Stories and passages often describe events in a certain order. Paying attention to the sequence helps you understand what happens first, next, and last.

How to Spot Sequence

  • Look for signal words: "first," "next," "then," "finally."
  • Make a timeline or list the main events.

Why Sequence Is Important

Knowing the order of events helps you retell the story and answer questions correctly.

Examples

  • First, Mia woke up. Next, she brushed her teeth. Then, she ate breakfast. Finally, she went to school.

  • To plant a seed: First, dig a hole. Next, put in the seed. Then, cover it with soil. Finally, water it.

In a Nutshell

Sequence shows the order in which things happen in a story.
