Description
A first grader can love a story and still not be able to tell it back to you. Retelling asks for something reading aloud does not: holding the whole story in mind at once and knowing which part came first. This Sequencing Drawing Worksheet works that skill twice over, once with words and once with pictures, so a child who cannot yet write much of a retelling can still show that she knows how the story went.
The page opens with a four-sentence story about a girl named Iris, a shiny seed and a pot of dirt. Three sentences from that story are printed underneath in the wrong order, and students number them 1, 2 and 3. Then come three large drawing boxes labelled Beginning, Middle and End, and students draw the matching part of the story in each one. The two halves check each other: a child who numbers the sentences correctly and then draws them out of order has told you exactly where the confusion is. An answer key is included, with the correct order and a note of which event belongs in each drawing box.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- A short four-sentence story written on grade level
- Three out-of-order sentences with a numbered answer box each
- Three large Beginning, Middle and End drawing boxes
- A full answer key page with the correct order and the event for each box
Three things make this page work. First, the story is short enough to hold in mind, so the ordering really is about sequence rather than about memory or decoding. Second, drawing gives a first grader a way to retell that does not depend on spelling, which is exactly where a beginning writer stalls when asked to write a summary. Third, the boxes are big — nearly half the page — because a cramped square invites a scribble and a generous one invites detail worth talking about.
Away from the page, ask a child to retell her day in three parts before bed, or to tell you the beginning, middle and end of a book you have just read together. Cut a long story into three strips and have her lay them out on the floor in order. Plant a real seed in a cup on the windowsill and draw it once a week. This 1st grade sequencing worksheet pairs well with a story elements song, and it turns a Sequencing Drawing Worksheet into something a child will want to show somebody.
