About this resource
Description
Good stories happen in order, and learning to tell events in the order they happened is one of the biggest steps a young writer takes. This Sequence Writing Worksheet helps second graders build that skill in two short, friendly parts. First they put a mixed-up story back in order, and then they write the story themselves using order words such as First, Next, Then, and Last. When children learn to hear those words as signals, their own writing starts to sound clear, connected, and complete.
This 2nd grade narrative writing worksheet tells a simple story about making pancakes at home. In Part A, four events from the story are printed out of order beside four empty boxes. Students read each sentence, think about what must happen before what, and write the numbers 1 to 4 to show the right order. Each event depends on the one before it, so careful reading is the only way to solve it. In Part B, students write the whole story on roomy writing lines that begin with First, Next, Then, and Last, and then they add an ending sentence of their own. Use it in a writing center, a small group, or as homework.
What’s Included
- One printable page with four out-of-order story events to number from 1 to 4
- Writing lines with order-word starters so students write the story in order
- A line for students to add their own ending sentence
- An answer key with the correct order and a sample of the written story
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
It connects reading and writing, because students order the events before they write them. It teaches the order words that make a narrative easy to follow. It also practices a sense of closure, since every story needs an ending that wraps it up.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting the sequence writing worksheet, act out making a snack together and say First, Next, Then, and Last out loud. Afterward, invite children to read their story to a partner and share their endings. For extra practice, have them draw a picture for each step or write a new story about something they did this week.
