About this resource
Description
The Carving A Pumpkin Sequencing Worksheet turns a familiar autumn job into a sequencing lesson. Four pictures show the stages of carving a pumpkin, printed deliberately out of order, and a child writes 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the box under each one to put the steps back in the right sequence. Sequencing is the reading skill underneath retelling and summarizing: before a first grader can say what a story was about, they have to know what happened first and what happened last.
The second half of the Carving A Pumpkin Sequencing Worksheet moves the same four steps into sentences. A word box supplies pumpkin, lid, seeds and candle, and four cloze sentences beginning First, Next, Then and Last each need one of them. Reading the order words and matching them to the pictures they just numbered is what makes the skill transfer from pictures to text. This 1st grade sequencing worksheet fits a fall unit, a small reading group, or an independent centre, and the answer key means it can be checked in seconds.
What’s Included
- Four full-colour pictures of the pumpkin carving steps, printed out of order
- A numbered answer box under each picture
- A four-word word box and four cloze sentences using First, Next, Then and Last
- A complete answer key for both parts
- A print-ready PDF sized for standard letter paper
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- The pictures are out of order, so a child has to reason about the steps rather than read down the page.
- The order words First, Next, Then and Last are the vocabulary a retelling needs.
- Numbering pictures and then writing words moves the same idea from seeing to reading.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
- Have children tell the four steps out loud before they write a single number.
- Ask what would go wrong if two of the steps were swapped.
- Carve a real pumpkin together and stop to name each step as it happens.
- Let children add a fifth step of their own on the back of the page.
