This easy worksheet introduces second graders to the basic vocabulary of sequencing. In Part A, students sort signal words like 'first,' 'finally,' 'to begin,' and 'last of all' into Beginning Signal Words or Ending Signal Words categories. Part B offers five fill-in-the-blank sentences about story structure, and Part C uses four true-or-false statements to check whether students recognize where each signal word belongs in a story.
