This easy worksheet introduces first graders to the four core sequence words by tracing first, next, then, last, begin, and order along dotted lines, then putting them to work in short sentences. Part B asks children to fill in the missing word in prompts like "The word ___ means something happens at the start" and "We put events in ___ to retell a story," pulling vocabulary straight from Part A.

Part C wraps up with three true-false statements that check understanding, including the common trap that first tells what happens at the end. The mix of muscle-memory tracing and meaning-based questions builds the sequencing vocabulary children will lean on all year.
