This challenging worksheet pushes first graders to apply sequence vocabulary inside short story snippets. Part A has four multiple-choice items, including "Sara woke up. She brushed her teeth. She ate breakfast. What did Sara do first?" and "Tom got dressed. Next he packed his bag. Then he walked to school. What did Tom do last?" alongside a question that asks which word means the same as after that.

Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blank sentences using First, Next, after, last, and began — for example, "___ the dog ran to the park. Then it played fetch" and "He ___ his chores by picking up his toys." The page rewards careful close reading over keyword scanning.
