Instructional Ideas

• Write transition words on index cards to place onto the pocket chart as a reference, such as first, next, then, last, and finally 
• Instruct pupils to write a sentence that matches each sequential picture
• Copy and laminate sequencing cards on card stock paper for longer use

Classroom Considerations

• Resource suggests purchasing a pocket chart, but it is not required for performing activities; consider using your own chart, or stick cards on the board with magnets or tape
• Illustrated sequencing cards can be used in any language

Pros

• Great resource to include involvement and participation from parents
• Fun lessons are engaging for children

Cons

• Sequencing word cards are not provided with resource
