Sequencing Events with Signal Words

The video tutorial teaches children how to sequence events in a story using signal words. It explains the concept of arranging events from beginning to end and introduces signal words like 'first', 'next', 'then', and 'finally'. The tutorial includes two story examples: Lucy making a peanut butter jelly sandwich and Joe building a snowman. Each story is used to practice identifying and arranging events in the correct order using signal words.

Why is it important to sequence events in a story?

• To confuse the reader

• To make the story longer

• To add more characters

• To arrange events based on when they happen
