This easy worksheet helps second graders see how sequence words shape a story. In Part A, students sort six transition words like First, Next, Then, Finally, At last, and In the end into Words That Start a Story or Words That End a Story. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank sentences about words such as 'first,' 'next,' and 'finally,' plus the term 'narrative.' Part C closes with four true-or-false statements testing whether 'then' is a sequence word and whether story events need order, building strong sequencing habits young writers will reuse every day.
